- Description:
- LC issue raised on the behalf of Rob Brackett.
A fragment sentence seems to be left over in the description of EventListener:
> The listener parameter must be an object which implements the EventListener interface, such as a reference to a .
>
> The listener parameter must be either an object that implements the EventListener interface, or a function. If listener is a function then it must be used as the callback for the event; otherwise, if listener implements EventTarget, then its handleEvent method must be used as the callback.
>
> The listener parameter takes an object defined by the author which implements the EventListener interface and contains the method to be called when the event occurs.

Related notes:
Revision 1.201. Removed the fragment sentence and made an editorial clarification that is consistent with implementations:
"The listener parameter must be either an object that implements the EventListener interface or a function. If listener is a function then it must be used as the callback for the event; otherwise, if listener implements EventListener, then its handleEvent method must be used as the callback. If listener is a function that also has a handleEvent method, the function itself must be used as the callback and not its handleEvent method."
