Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Event retargetting in layman's terms? (#528)

As I understand it, event retargeting is integral to the overall purpose of not exposing anything about the (private) internals of your custom elements. So for any events that originate from a custom element’s shadow DOM subtree, you retarget them to appear to come from your custom element itself (the only public part of however you’ve implemented it). I don’t know what use cases for event retargeting there might be other than that.
