To clarify, you're saying that you are creating an instance of tips only when the user actually mouses over something, yes? The reason there's no event fired on attach is because this functionality occurs either on initialize (if you specify elements) or when you attach elements yourself. Therefor the event is something you essentially already have access to - you know it's going to fire when you call "new Tips" or when you call "myTips.attach(elements)".
Events are used when things occur arbitrarily - the user clicks, the ajax returns, the effect ends. There's no reason to add an event here.
