"a copy of the event path for the context object" in unclear. There is no such thin as Event's event path. There is Event and there is event path but specs don't seem to actually make clear mapping between those. (1) What is the value when the event hasn't been dispatched? I assume empty array. (2) What is the value during event dispatch I assume the event target chain which was created before capture phase (and changes to the DOM don't actually affect to this). (3) what is the value after the event has been dispatched? empty array? The same as in (2)?
Thanks. Let me make it clear in the spec.
