If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: As far as I can tell from this test: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/1226 ...the spec is correct. The document does scroll, but that just seems to be the UA's behaviour for when a space bar is hit when no element has focus; the events are in fact targetted at the body element.
