Out of curiousity, why has event.target not always been the XMLHttpRequest object (in Gecko)? Was it simply an oversight?
onreadystatechange used to not be a DOMEventListener, and therefore the setup that goes into making the call into a DOMEventListener wasn't really happening. In particular it wasn't actually getting passed an event object, so event.target tended to throw exceptions like |event has no properties|.
