Safari 4 530.17 with WebKit-r44837

When you register an event listener on the window object, event.currentTarget
and 'this' in the callback function should point to the window object. In
Firefox, this is true. In Safari, 'this' points to the window, but
event.currentTarget points to the document instead. In Opera, they both point
to the document.

Firefox's behavior makes the most sense to me.

I asked for clarification at
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Jun/0566.html>.

This affect the 'input' and 'change' events for example.
