Re: [whatwg/dom] `event.target` not cleared if event is not fired on `ShadowRoot` (Issue #1072)

It's intended to only clear it for shadow-root targets as we don't want to reveal those to the outside world. I agree that we should introduce the variable _clearTargets_ outside the nested block as you suggest. That's clearly a bug.

While other event-related information is reset at the end of dispatch I believe that historically the target was not and as such we cannot really change that behavior. If we could design this again I would do things differently I suspect.
