If you implemented that proposal as-is then authors would usually need a
listener on the document as well as the element, and as Chris pointed out,
it's simpler to just always listen on the document.

Is that true for the Webkit implementation or did you implement something
slightly different?

who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors
doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more
than others?" [Matthew 5:43-47]
