Re: "DOM4 Events" Proposal (was: Spec proposals for Event constructors)

Dear Jacob,

Thank you very much for writing the spec draft!
The current draft looks great to me.


typo (semicolon after 'view' is missing):

dictionary UIEventInit : EventInit {
    views::AbstractView view;
    long detail;
}


Regards
