Optimizing for those other objects makes way more sense. There is always an event flow even if the propagation path contains only a single EventTarget. Besides, there certainly are other hierachial ob- jects that are EventTargets but not Nodes, like SVGElementInstances or various objects in Adobe Flash et al., or entirely custom objects like you can make them with the implementation in Google's Closure Library. You'd have a point if nobody ever wondered how the XHR event flow works, but this isn't the first time questions about that have ended up here. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
