Neither is clearly right or wrong, and acting on releases means you could in theory detect and filter out drag operations, as well as allowing "combinations" like left+right mouse button to do something completely different from what they do individually. However there is the MP_KEY_DOWN flag that indicates which is which and both are passed to the input layer, so support for handling things differently could be added, if someone is interested enough to do it.
