Details

Right now, for mouse events that happen on a textnode, event.originalTarget is set to the parent of the textnode because mouse events can only be targeted at elements. Since bug 194802, .tmpRealOriginalTarget contains the textnode, but this is a hack.
Blocks: 194802
What will happen for text in an input? The mouse events are already targetted at the <div>...
If the mouse event was originally targeted at the text, it will be the text. This will simply cause .originalTarget to behave as it did before bug 194802.

We'd like to get rid of .originalTarget.
