Whereas “this” is formatted with a fixed-width font, which is important.

Anyhow, I can save you some time here:

Note that this argument is based on the assumption that either “this” would 
always refer to the object that the event handles or that circular 
references involving host objects would not be a problem in non-W3C-DOM 
implementations.  AISB, the former lacks specification or at the very least 
some serious testing at this point.  The latter has been shown to be false: 
the FAQ has a long section on the IE Memory Leak issue.
