[whatwg] Preventing nested click() calls

[Erik Arvidsson]

To me it just seems wrong to prevent this.  This is in theory no
different than a recursive call and just like recursion it can end up
in an infinite loop.  Having a limit seems OK since most JavaScript
engines already have a limit on the size of the call stack.
