Hi Nic, I'd love to see this included directly in Prototype to allow for Event.fire and Element#fire to trigger DOM events (and not only custom ones).
This would imply researching on how to trigger keyboard events (I know YUI has a working implementation, for example), and providing a simple wrapper around events like blur, focus and submit. Any thoughts or proposed implementation on this is welcomed.
