I'd prefer a single word if possible.  Also, the word "event" has  
some JavaScript-specific connotations, even though it's not a keyword  
(proper) in JS; it refers to the "onClick", "onLoad", et al. events.

I'm thinking the new word should fit into the current progression,  
like this:

1. Controller
2. Action
3. (? submit ?)

 From old habit, I have often used the word "op" (short for  
"operation") but I'd prefer a short, whole word if we can find one.

Other thoughts?
