I've been thinking about this a bit but I'm still not sure if the spec was  
correct [1].
What you say is correct, so my confusion is only "linguistic". What does  
"Target" mean in that table?

If it means the "proximal event target" [2] (i.e. the value of  
event.target) then I agree with you that the spec was correct.
But if it just mean "event target" [3] as in you can register a listener  
for this event on the object X, than I think the spec was wrong.




[1] note that meanwhile the editor added Document to the event target.
