Hi John,

Since .live uses .is internally (with the .closest method), it only  
has supprot for those selectors that .is supports, right?

So, $('li:eq(0)') would bind to all li elements, but $('li:eq(1)')  
would bind to none. Such is the quirkiness of .is and "simple  
selectors."

For example (in Firebug):

 >>> $('button:eq(2)').is('button:eq(2)')
false
 >>> $('button:eq(2)').is('button:eq(0)')
true

I'm not sure how full selector support can be achieved with .live, or  
even if it should at this point, but the documentation, at least,  
should be clear.

Thoughts?
