[the following has gained a rough consensus in the WAI-PF group who are tasked to represent the WAI domain in this sort of review. - Al Gilman, co-chair, WAI-PF.] Reference: WAI PF Issues: XML events <http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/xmlevents.html>http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Gro up/xmlevents.html Quote: Importing all of DOM2 events The specification currently incorporates all the DOM2 events into its namespace. Charles argued that it should no import all the mouse triggers. This was discussed briefly by Charles, Raman, and Al, but no conclusion has been reached. Thread: <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-wai-pf/2001OctDec/0233>http://lists .w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-wai-pf/2001OctDec/0233 Proposed resolution: The events included in XML Events by default should be only the device-independent events that W3C wishes practice to migrate to in the future. Initial practice will indeed include support for legacy device-specific events, but this should be accomplished by temporary i.e. removable means and not within the default. The default set we should be prepared to live with forever after. Discussion: In the caucus on January 17 I believe I heard Steven Pemberton say that his intention in XHTML 2.0 is to have device-independent events only. This is the core that should be the default event repertory, not the status quo. Al
