    I'd be interested in getting more information on this as I wasn't
previously aware that ASV incorrectly implemented getTarget - something
that I would most likely have encountered.  Can you provide a small
example that works in ASV (what I'm presuming you are using in IE) and
fails in Batik?

    You can break Batik's DOM Event's implementation, it lives in
batik.dom.events.EventSupport, I have no idea what inside Batik
this might break - in my experience this is a really bad idea.
I would suggest submitting a bug report to Oracle as this is only
going to become a bigger issue for them as implementations like
Mozilla and the various mobile vendors move into wider circulation,
they will have to conform to the spec rather than depend on ASV bugs.
