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.
How will that complicate the platform in the future?

It's a judgement call. I think we're just making different judgements
on how likely it is that we'll need to extend this in the future.
So far I haven't seen any suggestions that would need a change to the
constructor. We shouldn't try to solve problems we can't even imagine
yet; how could we possibly evaluate our solutions?
Can you list the reasons for why you don't think we will not need any of
the types listed in the following email:

I addressed those in the e-mail you replied to earlier:
