/**
* The EventListener interface is the primary method for
* handling events. Users implement the EventListener interface
* and register their listener on an EventTargetEventListener from its EventTarget after they
* have completed using the listener.
* Copying a Node with the Node.cloneNode
* method does not copy the event listeners attached to it. Event
* listeners must be attached to the newly created Node
* afterwards if so desired.
*
Moving a Node, with methods Document.adoptNode
* or Node.appendChild, does not affect the event listeners
* attached to it.
*
The EventListener behavior follows the description in section
* 1.2.2 of the DOM Level 3 Events specification.
*

*
* Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification and .
