This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
This is similar to bug 25373 and bug 25601. Current code value, Media(Next|Previous)Track are same as older draft's key names. Therefore, I think .key value table should be rolled back. Then, IE9 and current Firefox become compatible with D3E draft's key names again.
Oops, this must be Garykac's issue.
I like aligning these with existing implementations :) I'll go ahead and make the change. Yell at me if you want me to change the code values to match the key values instead...
I've done this now: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/dom3events/rev/705e5c8af455
They are named that way to be consistent with all the other key names. Namely, related keys share the same prefix so that they are easy to find. So we don't have "FastForwardMedia" and "RewindMedia" but rather "MediaFastForward" and "MediaRewind" The naming consistency may be a change from the hodge-podge naming that the keys had earlier. But the renaming mostly affected rarely used keys (like the media ones).
So you'd like to see the change applied in reverse?
