And with 10 lines extra for mouseenter/mouseleave and 20 lines extra for mousewheel, I'm not seeing the slippery slope to bloated code. Furthermore, it seems that browsers are slowly converging on standards compliance (although mouseenter/mouseleave has not been proposed as a standard afaik) which will eventually simplify or remove the extra code for these events.
