RE: Re[2]: [cgmo-webcgm] ISSUE: clarify about effective region

[Robert Orosz <roboro@AUTO-TROL.com>]

I agree except for a small quibble with the grammar.  The phrase
"interaction region" has a noun modifying a noun.  How about "interactive
region" instead?

Hi Lofton,

After reviewing how "mouse region" is used in the spec. I would prefer
"interaction region". "picking region" would also be acceptable but,
now in 2.0 and the DOM... we are doing more than picking. I think
"interaction region" is a good fit.

Thoughts?
