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.
