I know there are a lot of strong feelings out there re: "un/
obtrusiveness" but when you have to write a wrapper for a dead simple 
alert call, "unobtrusiveness" starts to sound like "pro-obtuseness" to 
me ;P  

I would rather just confine my unobtrusiveness to not defining js 
functions anywhere in the <body>.  I find it much more confusing/
obfuscating to learn that an element has a function attached to it via
css or a js header, when there is no clue left in the page source at 
all.
