Yes, I know event delegation. They are powerful :-)

That is the only way, as I see, at this moment. But this is useful when 
you know what type of events are attached. Otherwise, as I mentioned in 
reply to Scott, it is better to write some wrapper to event methods and 
use collected data (I mean attached events) to attach them again after 
replacing element.
