Hi Doug, et al
It just occured to me that the data property of TextEvent clashes with
jQuery Events, which uses the data property for " optional data passed
to jQuery.fn.bind when the current executing handler was bound."
See
http://api.jquery.com/category/events/event-object/
and
http://api.jquery.com/event.data/
TextEvent.data (and there textInput events) support in jQuery will be
confusing (at minimum).
To my knowledge only Webkit supports TextEvents and I can't imagine many
developers actually using them yet, so it might not break anything to
change it now.
Perhaps "text" or "textData" would be an acceptable name.
