Re: Functions that Implement the EventListener Interface (DOM Level 3 Events)

Except the following looks like a typo:

<snip>
 The listener parameter must be either an object that implements the
EventListener interface or a function. If listener is a function then it
must be used as the callback for the event; otherwise, if listener
implements ***EventTarget***, then its handleEvent method must be used as
the callback. If listener is a function that also has a handleEvent method,
the function itself must be used as the callback and not its handleEvent
method.
</snip>

*** should be EventListener.
