As you can see from 
http://code.google.com/p/npapi-sdk/source/browse/trunk/headers/npapi.h 
this proposal has already been accepted as part of the standard NPAPI 
headers (the NPN_HandleEvent method is defined). This version of the 
NPAPI headers are also in the Mozilla code.

I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. Are you planning on writing an 
NPAPI proposal? If so, those are proposed and discussed on the 
plugin-futures mailing list, where browser and plugin vendors 
collaborate on the spec.

If you are asking about this specific proposal, perhaps you can be more 
specific about your question? I don't actually know whether Flash has 
implemented this part of NPAPI. Mozilla does not yet implement this 
NPAPI feature, we probably wouldn't until/unless Flash decided to, 
because doing proper QA on plugin features in a vacuum is hard.
