Hello,
Qooxdoo event mechanism follows DOM event mechanism, and while it would be
possible to create wrapper object for the event as you propose, it would
break the consistency.
And what you propose that qx.event.type.Data would itself have "fire"
method is impossible, since event objects are the bearer of the data of the
event. For optimization, they are pooled and reused, however while used
they are unique to the event fired.
Cheers
Mikee
