A path chosen is a path chosen John.
But of course.

EV.mouseOut(document.blah) do {alert("i get this");} 

Would been hell much easier to learn ***and read***

There is something very unnatural inorganic about the javascript syntax, maybe even illogical. 

I guess it is because it has a large theoretical groundwork and the implementation coming out of university theories. So the guys that implement it are tied up, to some foundational work they follow.
