I agree, indeed that's my main reason for not wanting to make objects
inherit from EventTarget. :-)
I think adding EventTarget to the chain is a simplification as it makes
that interface more consistent with the majority of other ones.
I mean in general, on any interface.
IMHO nothing should inherit from EventTarget. That some interfaces do in
the specs today is a relatively new development and IMHO one that will
complicate the platform in the future.
Interesting. How so? Do you have an example where inheriting from
EventTarget has become an issue or is going to be an issue? I personally
don't have a position on this, I'm just really interested because I had
this come up in other (proprietary) contexts.
Kind regards,
