The W3C has released an updated working draft describing XHTML Events, an event syntax module for XHTML 1.1.

XHTML Events provides two levels of event processing modules:

"The XHTML Basic Events Module provides simple DOM2 event model support for simple applications and simple devices. The XHTML Events Module provides full DOM Level 2 event model support. "

This document appears to be a through-going revision of its predecessor. Discussions of how to use the XHTML Events module in SMIL and the comparison to Behavioral Extensions to CSS have disappeared, replaced by a sharper focus on integration with XHTML itself and the Document Object Model, Level 2.
