1) MouseWheelEvent
There was a WheelEvent in the SVG spec that the SVG WG has requested be
added to DOM 3. The current status is that a substantially similar
MouseWheelEvent has been added to the current DOM 3 spec. JSR 280 will
align with the version that
is approved in the DOM 3 spec; however, we need the DOM 3 version ofthis
API to be frozen before we can submit our FAB specification.
We have attempted to resolve this by removing key events from the current
DOM 3
Events spec which should allow us to publish it very soon.
2) ProgressEvent
The status is much the same as for MouseWheelEvent, except that in this
case the name proposed in the DOM 3 spec remains the same. JSR 280 will
align with the version that is approved in the DOM 3 spec; however, we
need the DOM 3 version
of this API to be frozen before we can submit our FAB specification.
A new editor's draft[1] has been published, and we will be requesting
formal
draft status and moving this spec as fast as we can
3) ElementTraversal
There is a request pending to add ElementTraversal to the DOM 3 Core.The
status of this is still open ended. JSR 280 has included this in
our PFD spec submission in the hopes that we will get the addition
to DOM 3 approved, since it would facilitate the alignment of a
number of different standards.Again, we need the DOM 3 version of this
API to be frozen before we
can submit our FAB specification.
We have a draft specification [2], but it has no assigned editor. If we
get the
resources to edit this document it should not be difficult to finish it and
follow it through the W3C publication process. Among the possibilities are
for
Sun to join the working group and assign an editor. It is also apparently
possible that Doug Schepers will find time to work on this.
4) Event groups
Event groups were included in an earlier draft of the DOM 3 Event
specification, and have been removed from the most recent version.
The JSR 280 PFD spec has kept the event group argument since the issue
is still under discussion, but we
will remove it from our FAB spec if the elimination from the final DOM 3
specification has been frozen in time for our FAB submission.
We have removed Event groups, and don't anticipate changing that decision.
Thanks to Nandini for turning up to our meeting and working with us on
these
issues. I hope that we can continue to move fast enough to help you meet
your
requirements.
