In 5.2.3 Mouse Event Types:
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-mouseevents

The last paragraph of this section states:

"Implementations must maintain the current click count when generating mouse
events. This must be a non-negative integer indicating the number of
consecutive clicks of a pointing device button within a specific time. The
delay after which the count resets is specific to the environment
configuration."

Later on, the spec indicates that this should be stored in UIEvent.detail.

If nothing else, there should be more information in 5.2.3 about where/how the
click count is stored/used.

But why isn't this stored in a proper attribute rather than stuffed away in a
generic 'detail' attribute?
