If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. 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: Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: Concurred with reporter's comments. I moved document.defaultView to HTMLDocument and window.document to Window. I also renamed the DragEvent "viewArg" argument to dummyArg and made it type "any". Really I'd like to make it type "void" and require it to be null, or maybe make it type Window, but I'll change it to match whatever UIEvent becomes when DOM Events is updated. 34380 2 contributor 2010-04-02 05:33:03 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r4948.

This should have been discussed on the email lists to make sure that there is indeed consensus about this decision, including those who could not attend TPAC. In the summary of the TPAC meeting [1], Chaals wrote: [[ We discussed Views in DOM, and resolved that nobody appears to use them anywhere real, so while we won't destroy the attributes etc we wil collapse them all down to a single concept of the default view in practice ]] The manner in which this was resolved in the HTML5 spec doesn't seem consistent with the results of this discussion [2], either. Note that I have no love for Views, I think we should discuss this more first. This will likely impact how DOM3 Events is specified.
