Theres nothing new in this. I think anyone with significant JS code will be using some or other "delegation" scheme, some with more features than the implemented referenced above. Whether it should be integrated into Mootools is of course Mootools Dev Team's decision, but *personally*, I dont think its very important to have it in mootools core, and I wouldn't use it either, since its missing an important piece (for me), i.e., named behaviours that can be turned off or on.
