I frankly hadn't considered behaviors that load new HTML via Ajax or create new dom elements that need the behaviors applied. This is a blind spot because of how Hue works (which has it's own implementation of Request and manages all this stuff for you). You're totally right, applyBehaviors needs to be part of the behaviorAPI methods. I'll add it.
