api.Permissions.permission_accessibility-events - What is this? #25854

Description

@ddbeck

What type of issue is this?

Missing specification link (no spec_url property)

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Narrowly, api.Permissions.permission_accessibility-events doesn't have a specification. More generally, the data itself and the commit history provides no clues as to what API this permission is associated with or whether the permission actually exists under this or any other name.

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

No response

What did you expect to see?

A specification URL.

Did you test this? If so, how?

No.

Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?

This is the history of the non-automated changes I could find for this data:

In #2668, the permission was originally added to BCD under the key accessibility-events_permission and description "accessibility events permisson".

In #5909, the description changed to "accessibility-events events permisson". There was no discussion about this—it was presumed to be correct, I guess. This looks awfully suspicious to me; the "permisson" typo was preserved in the description rewrite.

In #18561, the key was renamed to permission_accessibility-events, to order it with other permission names.

I tried searching webref for a plausibly connected spec, but since "accessibility" and "events" are perhaps two of the most common topics across specs, my search was fruitless.

What is this thing and where did it come from?

Do you have anything more you want to share?
