RE: [DOM3Events] Compatibility between DOM3 Events and EMMA events [Honeywell Internal]

Classification: Honeywell Internal
Events captured via keyboard, speech recognition, handwriting recognition all result in text input to applications. Just as the W3C Pointer spec provides an abstraction covering mouse, trackball, touch, and pen (and should cover eye tracking and gesture),  other specs should provide generalized abstractions that don't make a distinction about how an particular type of input is obtained.

If such generalizations are made for text input, I think the result will be a collision between the EMMA spec (which handles speech recognition) and the DOM Level 3 spec (which handles keyboard input).

I recognize that EMMA also deals with event coordination (which is why it's part of the MultiModal WG work), but it seems like the event capture portion doesn't recognize that text input events can come from multiple device types - and so the structure of representing the events should be similar.

Have I just really missed something?

I briefly glanced through the EMMA spec and didn't see anything related to events other than the "Informative" Appendix D which suggests an extension to UIEvent without providing details.  Other than that, EMMA specifies a markup language that doesn't seem related to DOM3 events.

Was there something specific that you were referring to?

The Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification and the EMMA: Extensible MultiModal Annotation markup language Version 1.1 both deal with event specifications. Have these been compared to insure they are mutually compatible?
