I think that the basic reason for the separate store is to provide
insulation from any current, past, or future browsers tramping on a
key name you may choose today and test in some subset of all browsers.
Browser scripting is fun enough in IE with its amusing conflation of
Name and ID properties without getting into the weeds with a perfectly-
safe-seeming data element being confused for some completely other
property or method.

Hi,
is there anyting wrong with extending a DOM-Object with
$('myelement').myvariable = "something";
or why is there the prototype-method store, which saves values in a
seperate hash?
Thank you,
Lukas
