I guess you're referring to supporting the new HTML 3.0 FIG construct
at the protocol level - I saw your message on www-html.
First, I'm not sure that extending the set of mouse events being sent
on the wire is in the line of FIG or HTML 3.0. I'd say on the
contrary, the idea is that none of that should happen and that with
FIG, all "mouse click"/URL mapping is now done locally, rather than in
on the httpd side (so there is no need to pass it there).

We (the X Consortium) have a thousand more items to add to your list,
just check the X Protocol Version - the Event handling chapter, for
details :-)
No, seriously, you shouldn't try to re-implement a low level UI
protocol on top of HTTP, that would be a big mistake.

Is it present in the 0.9 version of Netscape, or just in 1.0 ? (I
don't want to spend my morning clicking on the logo for nauth' :)
