How does one go about filing an official request to have an event handler added to expand/collapse of the details node in the HTML5 spec?

It seems to me that it is clearly necessary and once browser vendors start adding it they will see the need as well, I would hate for different browsers to come up with different mechanisms resulting in a need to detect browser features when using details.

Thank you for the chrome bug report. It seems to me that Opera is the only browser that correctly interprets an Enter as a click for not anchor/form elements that have tabindex=0 set.

Agree there should be an event specified that is fired when the element is expanded/collapsed.

(Off-topic: I didn't see a bug report for the lack of a keyboard mechanism for `details` in the Chrome issues list, so I created one: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=108938 You can add the element to the tab order in the usual way [tabindex="0"], which solves half the problem, but once you're on the element I can't find a keyboard mechanism to open it.)
