Re: [whatwg] seamless iframes and event propagation

Shadow DOM's event retargeting in WebKit uses one Event object for
every shadow trees.
When crossing shadow boundaries, an Event object's target (or
relatedTarget) is set to the appropriate one, but the event object
itself is reused.

FYI.
I've tried to implement event retargeting for seamless iframes in
WebKit just for an experiment.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91290

There, I created an Event object per frame. You can see the design in
the ChangeLog of the patch. Please don't take it seriously. It should
be considered as just an experiment at this stage.
