[SVGMobile12] event aliasing

http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-SVGMobile12-20051207/interact.html#SVGEvents  
seems, besides providing a list of events, to introduce a concept of  
aliasing events, but it doesn't clearly define how this works. I believe  
the clarification said to be made in  
http://www.w3.org/mid/6.1.1.1.2.20050118043807.01f18178@mailsj-v1.corp.adobe.com  
isn't really done. The questions raised in  
http://www.w3.org/mid/41EDB04C.5090606@mit.edu can't seem to be answered  
given the current text. Yet these were comments on the first Last Call  
document of SVGMobile12...

It's also not clear from the text why DOMFocusIn is not an alias for  
focusin in SMIL timing attributes (is that term defined somewhere?), but  
load is for SVGLoad...

It also confuses me that the specification talks about "user friendly". I  
think for example that there could be arguments for DOMFocusIn to be more  
"user friendly" than focusin. Consistency would be one. Not intrudicing  
SVG specific "events" would be another.

In any case, it would be good if the next version of the specification  
clearly addresses all the flaws pointed out and that adequate responses to  
the commenters have been made.
