Description Philip Jägenstedt 2015-06-01 21:51:27 UTC 
https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#interface-MouseEvent

Here buttons is annotated with "Introduced in this specification"

This isn't helpful when one copies the IDL into the browser engine source, as I'm trying to do in Blink. It would be nicer to just list the attributes in the sensible order (buttons after button) and to put this note in the definition of the attribute, as for https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#widl-MouseEvent-getModifierState
Comment 1 Boris Zbarsky 2015-06-02 00:27:17 UTC 
Even more to the point, unless this is the only definition of MouseEvent, this should probably be a partial interface....
Comment 2 Philip Jägenstedt 2015-06-02 07:40:24 UTC 
This seems intended to be the main definition of MouseEvent.
Comment 3 Gary Kacmarcik 2015-10-07 04:44:24 UTC 
Now tracking as: https://github.com/w3c/uievents/issues/46
