The alternative solution would be to move the code that responds to to middle and right clicks into event handlers for events that do get sent instead of the click event. Once we've changed all the event handlers so they don’t depend on receiving a click event for a middle click, then we can change the code to not emit that event.

> The problem is that current WebKit clients have behavior we want to retain as the default event handler for these events.

This is the part I am not clear on. What are these clients? Are they you talking about something outside the defaultEventHandler functions in WebCore itself?

> I bet we could do it by breaking all existing clients that handle middle-click via default events, but that sounds like a bad idea.

It all depends on what you mean by clients. Maybe you could give me a specific example of a client outside WebCore?
