So the need > always existed. Oh, I see. Yes, we agree there. That browsers added artificial 'click' events on keyboard activation was pragmatic but unfortunate. It was good for making legacy content more accessible, but it was a short-term solution. DOMActivate would have been a better solution if it had taken off right away. > Anyhow, I suspect we're arguing an unimportant aspect as we seem to > both agree that in an ideal world there would be a separate activation > event different from "click", but that's not the ideal world that > we're living in. Yep, again I agree. However, I do think that we may have a real second chance at defining these user-action events, so all is not lost... just a little delayed.
