Ah, that makes sense. Invocations occur, but only the action listener of the
target element...not anything just happened to be fired that would be
discovered from a tree walk. Yes, if you clarify that statement, then I
think folks will get it the first time. So my mistake for saying it is a
typo. It just needs to be slightly reworded for clarity.
