Remove "DOM Event Architecture" from spec #372

Open garykac opened 9 months ago

The section in question: https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#dom-event-architecture

This section give a non-normative summary of event dispatch and event flow, but it also contains info that can cause confusion (eg: "default actions"). Much of this is normatively specified in DOM spec, and the useful bits need to be moved into the appropriate algorithm.

Regarding 3.3, it seems the concept of async/sync events isn't explained anywhere anymore though (unless I missed it). Given it's quite prominent in every event defs and tables, it's relatively confusing what these refer to.
