Yes.  You call addEventListener and pass an object that has getters for 
the properties you care about detecting.  If those getters get invoked, 
the browser knows about those dictionary properties.

This spec requires changes to DOM anyway, because the spec as written is 
not valid IDL: It's creating two overloads that can both be called with 
two arguments.  So we'll need to remove the "optional" annotation from 
the boolean arg that's already in DOM when we add this new overload. 
That doesn't seem like a problem.
