I agree, the question is if anybody is interested in the click that is 
only a first part of a double click, if getting two click events for a 
double click is useful for something.

Currently the only difference is that the MouseReleased event is 
delivered always to the node that was pressed, regardless of where the 
mouse has traveled, whereas the MouseClicked event is delivered only to 
the node that was both pressed and released.

Thanks,
