According to overview of event types
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/events.html#Events-EventTypes-complete
the Document node is a valid target for mousewheel/mousemultiwheel events.
However, this seems to be wrong to me since other MouseEvent interface events
do not have Document as valid target and mousewheel event is not different from
them either (consider mousemove).

Note, mousewheel isn't specified properly yet.
And, actually mouse events could be targeted to document, if
documentElement is removed from document. So IMO we should add Document
to the possible targets of all mouse events.
