why are toggles an event target? #32

The formal definition of a toggle change event says that they're fired at elements. I think this probably makes sense since it's possible to get the toggle from the element, but a little weirder to get the element from the toggle. It's also a little simpler, since there's no new event target.

However, CSSToggle derives from EventTarget, which made me think that togglechange events were meant to be fired at the toggles rather than the elements.

Hm, looks like no particular reason. I must have just anticipated firing the events and so added it on, and not realized when I actually went to write the text that the logical event target was the element instead. Removed.
