2009/9/19 Krzysztof Maczyński <1981km@gmail.com>: > I'm strongly against removing namespace support from DOM Events. The use case for them is as valid as that for element types - to avoid clashes. There is an important difference. Elements and attributes use namespaces, but use a prefix mapping mechanism so that you won't have to type the full namespace every time. Events don't have that. With Events you'd always be writing: someEventFunction(..., "http://example.com/myNamespace", "myEvent", ...); With the proposed changed you'd instead write: someEventFunction(..., "http://example.com/myNamespace/myEvent", ...); where 'someEventFunction' is initEvent, addEventListener, removeEventListener etc. So on the whole not that big of a difference. / Jonas
