Monkeypatching UI Events is problematic

[annevk]

You redefine how dispatching key events works. Please make sure that's tightly coupled with the relevant prose in UI Events (it might be that such prose there is still lacking, I recommend encouraging the editors to finally add it if so). Otherwise we'll just end up with a giant mess and nobody being really sure in what order things actually happen.

The prose in UI Events is indeed lacking -- which is my fault. It's on my list of things to cleanup, but I haven't had time to devote to it yet.

I added a bug in UIEvents to track this: w3c/uievents#158

FWIW, my general plan the key dispatch is to update the UIEvents algorithm and have callouts to the KeyboardLock and Fullscreen specs.

That sounds like a good plan to me. That's what we generally end up doing optionally with some notes to point out the callers.
