Description

Even though it technically doesn't need to set the removed flag, it seems cleaner to use the same abstraction.

Research direction
Examine the spec for 'inner invoke' usage and the 'remove an event listener' algorithm. The change likely involves replacing the implementation of 'inner invoke' to reuse 'remove an event listener' while removing the removed flag. Look at the relevant sections in the DOM spec source (likely in the 'events' section).
