Thanks for spotting that - it's absolutely correct that we had to change this due to having too many compatibility problems with web content expecting capturing listeners to fire also on event target. I support changing the spec so that it says a capturing listener only fires during capture and at target phases but not during bubbling. -- Hallvord
