Since every item you want to hook up listeners to, and only those, are
contained in one and the same element (the UL), you'd probably be
better off just using event bubbling and only hooking up a listener to
the UL. For example:
$('ul').click(function (e) { e.stopPropagation(); var target = $
(e.target); if (target.is('a')) { /* link handler */ } else if
(target.is('li')) { /* item stuff */ });
Regarding if this is the expected behaviour or not with live events,
I'll leave to someone else to comment.
