Well sure but Webkit supports *all* other mouse event types (even mousewheel) and mouseenter and mouseleave are part of the DOM Level 3 events[0], so I'm not sure the objection still has much (if any) relevance, especially since mouseenter and mouseleave are far more useful than *already included* mouse events (namely mouseover and mouseout)

> If these are to be added to WebKit, it's compatibility and not "incredible usefulness" that should drive adding them, in my opinion.
Why would "incredible usefulness" not play a part? Because they *are* incredibly useful (in that they're useful at all, which mouseover and mouseout aren't exactly, you usually have to hack around *a lot* to make them useable)
