I think it should have additional functionality if we are going to add something new. E.g. ignore whether the event was dispatched as a bubbling event or not and have it always go through the bubble phase. Maybe add the possibility of only invoking the listener when it is registered on the actual event target, things like that. Native support for jQuery-style event delegation was suggested during TPAC. I'm not that familiar with event delegation, or how jQuery's API works here, but I'm not opposed to adding new features around event handling. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
