<p>This specification defines the Document Object Model Level 2 Events, a
platform- and language-neutral interface that gives to programs and scripts a
generic event system. The Document Object Model Level 2 Events builds on the
Document Object Model Level 2 Core <bibref ref='DOMCore'/> and on Document
Object Model Level 2 Views <bibref ref='DOMViews'/>.</p>
