You are correct that many frameworks have a publisher/subscriber pattern for events but that these events don't bubble. I used Prototype 1.5 for around a year but haven't check out newer versions. It looks like I've been missing out! @Tobie: Good point about bubbling. You are correct that many frameworks have a publisher/subscriber pattern for events but that these events don’t bubble.

(That feature requires namespacing so as not to conflit with native events). As far as I know, other implementations of custom events are actually more of a publisher/receiver pattern (i.e. they don't bubble). Note that if you want to observe <code>dom:loaded</code>, you'll need to observe it on <code>document</code>, not on <code>window</code>.
