Populate Events with event information when events are fired

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
Currently, EventTriggers are single model elements that have no references to 
other data sources.

This should be changed; when an event is fired, it should be able to contain 
references to additional data, that are populated when the event is fired. This 
is argued for on the C2 wiki. For example:

- The containing element that fired the event
- The reason the event was fired (e.g. onSelect: selected by a keyboard, or the 
mouse)
- For onClick, the (x,y) of where the user clicked
- For Email onFailure, the cause of the e-mail send failure

For keyboard modelling, this may be a fundamental requirement (e.g. onKeyPress 
needs access to the key pressed).

These references could be contained directly as children within the event 
itself.

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
More expressive web applications.
