Minutes: DOM3 Events Telcon, 26 August 2009

Hi, Folks-

Sorry for the sparse minutes... only Olli and I were there for the first 
part of the telcon, so we canceled the telcon and took the opportunity 
to chat about where we stood with the spec and what we'd talked about 
adding before, which we didn't bother minuting out of laziness.  Travis 
showed up later, and we talked a little longer, and took a few notes. 
But for some reason, the minutes didn't show up on the server... I 
copied this out of the IRC window, and I hope this give you the gist of 
what we talked about.  We'll keep better minutes in the future, when we 
actually think we're going to have a telcon.  My bad.

-Doug


Attendees: Doug Schepers, Olli Pettay, Travis Leithead

vender-specific events appropriately.
Travis: IE has many events that we'd like to have co-exist with the DOM 
Events spec in an "agreeable" manner.
Travis: CSS uses -moz- / -ms- / -o- / -webkit-
smaug: In gecko we have used Moz-prefix for few events

d3e, for review and discussion
