currentTarget / observer

What about replacing the misnomer "currentTarget" by "observer" in the 
Event interface?

This would help avoiding the confusion about the distinction between 
"target" and "currentTarget" as exemplified in the recent post on the 
D3E mailing list cited below.

Not target but currentTarget ;)
