I think there are strands of a couple of causes at once, maybe.

I recognize preventDefault.  This has to do with Event.

If you clone https://github.com/thatcher/env-js.git

and go to src/event/event.js , preventDefault is here.  It has to do with 
bubbling/capturing, which is what that third argument to addEventHandler 
is about.  And this env code is where I got the Event = function(){ 
definition from.

I think we want eb$master.Event.prototype.preventDefault, and maybe some 
others like eb$master.Event.prototype.stopPropagation.  But this raises 
the question of bubbling & capturing.  I think that's what radiocaroline 
is trying to call preventDefault for.  I'm going to include an article 
that MDN links, because it seems like useful history.  If we understand 
this theme, maybe we ought to revisit that third argument to 
addEventListener, which if you remember we currently set aside and call it 
'notused'.  I put it on carhart.net and cleaned it up slightly.  Please 
pull it up when you have a moment.
