Comment:
It might be useful to have access to USB joysticks (maybe even with
force-feedback) and other kinds of HID.

    <thetext>I ended up moving away from &lt;device&gt; as a generic mechanism, because I couldn&apos;t work out how to make it work. If you have any concrete proposals, please don&apos;t hesitate to reopen the bug and post them here (or on one of the lists). See also this entry in the FAQ:

   http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ#Is_there_a_process_for_adding_new_features_to_a_specification.3F

For joysticks in particular, events are probably a better solution.</thetext>
