I had some down time this afternoon so I thought I would throw
something together real quick. I just checked it in:
http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/plugins/behavior
This allows you to register any number of behaviors that will run any
jQuery method/plugin with any number of arguments. It also allows a
plugin developer to register their method so that behavior will auto
run when it is done. It also allows the developer to manually
run/remove a specific behavior or all behaviors.
It seems to be pretty flexible but with behavior auto running after a
DOM update, I could see it getting pretty out of hand with performance
if lots of behaviors are used.
Here is the test/example page that adds three behaviors; an append,
click and addClass. I also remove the addClass behavior before doing
the last two appendTo and prependTo calls.

the current solution with jQuery is shown in the previous slide (which
is, unfortunately, rather verbose). I hope that it'll exist one day -
I probably should've made that more explicit.
You would, "simply", have to override append/prepend/before/after and
after the injection has occurred, re-run all "behavior"ed expressions.
Of course, you'd also have to cache all expressions for future use
(and that's another nut, entirely). If someone feels compelled, you
can hack on it - otherwise, I may take a stab at it.
