That's what I'm doing now ...

The purpose is to keep things as modular and generic as possible. The 
less I need to tie different functions up to each other, the better.

Not possible with multiple event handlers on the same object and event.

OK, now I think I understand how the event bubbling works. I have to 
chain the events to each other in one way or another to stop not wanted 
events from firing (as it is same node and event).

Do I have to account for the event handlers beeing run in *arbitary 
order*? I have not tested this very much, but the events seem to fire in 
the same order they have been attached to the object. But that's maybe luck?

Thanks for your help!
