Fully agreed. Mutation events are not currently in DOM Core because Olli is planning on at least experimenting with removing them from Gecko. He plans to introduce a replacement that is less evil. (Userdata adopt handlers were only adopted by Gecko and I have no plans to add them to DOM Core. They are not needed.) If it turns out that mutation events indeed cannot be killed (as many suspect, but it is worth trying) they will be defined in DOM Core (including all their gory details). -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
