[[
* Section 13.8 Event dispatching
The following 2 sentences seem contradictory. According to the first sentence, there is always at least the root as a target. Could you clarify?
"If the user agent cannot find a graphics element or SVGElementInstance object to be the target object (e.g., the pointer event occurs over the viewport background), then the user agent must set the target object to be the rootmost 'svg' element."
and
"If there is no target object, the event is not dispatched."
