Oh, you're right, I didn't read the example closely enough. Sorry Rogelio!

XML Events says that an element defaults to a handler for an event if it  
doesn't have a handler attribute on it.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-events/Overview.html#section-attributedefaulting

So my conclusion is that

<trigger id="trigger1">
    <label>Button1</label>
    <message level="modal" ev:event="DOMActivate" ev:target="trigger1"
	 ev:observer="trigger1" ev:handler="#action2">
	  First Hello!!
    </message>
</trigger>

is the same as

<trigger id="trigger1">
    <label>Button1</label>
    <ev:listener event="DOMActivate" target="trigger1"
	 observer="trigger1" handler="#action2"/>
    <message level="modal">
	  First Hello!!
    </message>
</trigger>

So the first <message> will not get activated.
