If the browser **might** want to do anything that involves hiding UI (and this is a very likely outcome and seems to express the semantic intent of `preventDefault()`) then it **must** wait for this signal, which means this event **will** block the user experience because the browser won't know whether that signal might come in until the event has been fully dispatched.
That's the part I'm having trouble with.
