You all have excellent points, thank you! Device Independent Events
gets straight to the point, and I like that. Are there any objections
to calling this concept Device Independent Events?

The reason I want to have this broad conversation about naming is
simply for consistency in terminology across relevant specs.
For what it's worth, I remember first coming around to this idea of
device-independent input stuff (at that time, mainly meaning "don't just
design for mouse, but also for keyboard") from WCAG 1.0 (1999)
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/#gl-device-independence
So I think this phrase/naming - which continues the same thinking and
expands it to include further input modalities - is more than
appropriate, as it builds on already established concepts.
