None of the UIEvents drafts have ever been a replacement for D3E. The
UIEvent spec has always contained information to augment the core D3E spec.

What happened? What's the plan for fixing DOM Level 3 Events?


The plan for fixing D3E is that we're working on addressing all the
outstanding bugs for D3E. These FPWDs for the 'key' and 'code' tables are
required so that we can normatively refer to them in the next D3E draft
(planned for sometime in June).
