I'm not aware of any performance difference, so it's mostly a matter
of taste. Someone else here might have details on a difference, but
I'm guessing is negligible.

I would make sure you make the last character an operator when
breaking a line like that to avoid semicolon insertion problems. See
http://javascript.crockford.com/code.html.
Also, this topic and the previous on this thread would probably be
better posted in the Prototype and Scriptaculous group rather than the
Core group, since this doesn't pertain to the Prototype core.
For your overlay class, you might have a look a http://livepipe.net
and its Control.Window and Object.Event objects for possible code &
ideas.
