More to the point, if browsers would give us XBL2 mutation events
would be a whole lot less needed. (Yes Jonas, you know at whom I'm
looking).
One thing that mutation events were used a lot for back in the old
days of ASV (that supported them early on, IIRC in v3) was to add
behaviour through decoration. Basically you could add a
foo:draggable="true" on an element and know that a JS library would
detect that change and make your element draggable. It's the poor
man's XBL really.
