Well mentioned! :-)
This probably would also lead to a good performance boost for DOM2
Mutation Events use-cases, as the object and most or all of its
attributes could then throw a single (?) event. Of course that
arguably a small user base uses it, due to current lack of
cross-implementation support, but still a potential improvement... :-)
Cheers,
Helder
