The target property is read-only
(http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/ecma-script-binding.html). It
sucks that it would have to be under a different name to fix that
Safari bug.
Just a thought ... couldn't we create a new object (var newEvent = {})
and then extend it with the existing event object? Then the read-only
properties wouldn't be read-only and could be normalized for issues
like the Safari one.
