Re: [whatwg/dom] Proposal: asynchronous event listeners (Issue #1308)

> I am not sure when that became the case as the issue title is Proposal: asynchronous event listeners and the first presented example is a click event.

Yes the example uses click, but the very first paragraph says the scope of the proposal:

> Currently there is no way to signal to the platform, that **an event listener should be invoked asynchronously after the platform would ordinarily do so**, saving the event listener's invocation for a less-busy/contentious time, in terms of task scheduling and execution

Then, the code comments inside the first example say:

```js
// e.preventDefault() does not work here❗
```

I do agree that some important details were implied, and that the name "asynchronous event dispatch" can mean a lot of powerful things for a lot of folks.  Hence my trying to decouple the use cases.
