I think we can try to fix this without breaking the api/abi until we can change the api.

 - Add new methods, for example register/unregister_event_listener that receives the proper WebKitDOMEventListenerCallback + GDestroyNotify.
 - Modify the virtual functions of WebKitDOMEventTarget interface, since nobody outside WebKitDOM API should use the vfuncs directly even if they are public. We don't have padding to add new vfuncs.
 - Deprecate all the dispatch_event methods that are public, everybody should use the interface API, unless there's a good reason for those to the be public.

I don't know if there's a way for the bindings to skip the add/remove ones and expose the register/unregisiter as add/remove to follow the DOM spec. Once we can change the api/abi we can just rename the register/unregister methods as add/remove to follow the DOM spec.
