see bug 124990 comment 33. that bug (attachment 101794 [details] [diff] [review]) added these interfaces to the sdk: nsIDOM3DocumentEvent.idl nsIDOM3EventTarget.idl nsIDOMCustomEvent.idl nsIDOMEventGroup.idl but none of them are frozen, and in fact the W3C spec (DOM3 Events) has changed.
Ugh... maybe we need to freeze these as-is since they have been in the SDK for so many releases? (since 2002!)
I think we should definitely not change these interfaces. However, I don't think we should promise that future geckos will always implement them.
@status SORT_OF_FROZEN ??? ;-) I'm not sure I know what that means. We've tossed around the idea of deprecating other frozen interfaces when better ones are created, but it remains to be seen when those "future geckos" will appear.
You're proposing that we freeze DOM interfaces that don't correspond to the published DOM specifications?
I think they should be removed from the SDK.
> You're proposing that we freeze DOM interfaces that don't correspond to the > published DOM specifications? I'm saying that this is a very ugly situation. I'm not happy with freezing bad interfaces, but they have been apart of our official SDK for two years now! :( We can try to find out if any embedders or extensions are using these with the expectation that they are frozen because they included in the SDK, and perhaps if no one responds to the inquiry, then we proceed to remove them from the SDK.

Since everything is unfrozen now, I assume I can mark this as wontfix?
