If the special data only needs to be seen by JavaScript code, you can  
just add JavaScript properties to the event object. With the Mac OS X  
DOM bindings a clean way to do this is by taking the Objective-C DOM  
object and calling the JSObject method, giving you a JSObjectRef that  
you can then use to add additional properties to.
