Yes, I'm very worried about the SVG Working Group's decision to somehow adopt vanilla XML Events, just like I was and still am worried about the http://www.w3.org/mid/42b4d54f.193020078@smtp.bjoern.hoehrmann.de new similar but different <handler> elements, XHTML 2.0 has one, XBL2 has another, sXBL has its own, then SVG 1.2 joins the club, and so on.
