Hi. Please allow me to clarify the issue here.
Event#element was deprecated because of it's inconsistency with the rest of our API (which systematically uses verbs for method names). There were two options for renaming this method: 1) add an Event#getElement method or 2) reuse the existing Element#findElement method. Given precedence in the framework for methods accepting a selector to also work without arguments (As far as I known, that's the case for all methods returning a single element) the latter was chosen. In retrospect I think it was a good choice. It strengthened consistency across the framework for using methods with and without a selector argument. It also made event delegation one step closer by introducing Event#findElement as one of the key methods of the event object. I know that Event#findElement currently calls Event#element. This is an implementation detail, it's obviously temporary, and shouldn't distract us from the main issue at hand here which is our API. Finally, Sam is working on a new API for event delegation in 1.7 / 2.0. If changes are to be made, they should be discussed once he's posted his initial implementation. Hope this helps.
