Ah! Thank you for clarifying this! Interesting that Gecko doesn't support
it. Maybe this event could become more "palatable" if a node had to have an
"EventBroadcaster" (as opposed to an EventListener) of the appropriate type
for it to trigger the event. As a concept it could even be extended to all
other events. I'm not sure if this makes much sense for other events
though...
