I note that the functionality provided by these methods is already available in cases where listeners are registered using conventional onclick="" XML attributes, proprietary .onclick DOM properties, and related facilities like XML Events and SMIL markup. Especially for HTML-based applications it is quite common to rely exclusively on these means. If there are any tools, even if experimental, that make use of these facilities to provide the functionality you'd like to see it would be good to know more about them. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
