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.
