The MouseButton
element identifies the conventional name
of a mouse button. Because mouse buttons are not physically labelled,
the name is just that, a convention. Adding explicit markup for the
naming of mouse buttons allow easier translation from one convention
to another and might allow an online system to adapt to right- or left-handed usage.
