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

Kentaro,

Thanks for helping get the ball rolling on this! I think event constructors are a great idea. DOM4 has pioneered this for the Event interface [1]. However, we should do this across all event interfaces. So we need a spec for the remaining ones. I think this, potentially along with other ideas we've had in the past [2, 3], will make up a great new spec to extend DOM L3 Events.

I've taken your suggestions and drafted them up as a part of a ""DOM4 Events" proposal:

http://html5labs.com/dom4events/


I'd like to solicit feedback on what I've written so far, other possible features to include in scope for this proposal, and what folks think about bringing this in as a new specification in Web Apps. I'll start some threads with a couple questions I had while writing this proposal.

Thanks,

Jacob
