as for this, I believe Event.observe handles finding the proper event object
for you and passes that to your function. This is what I've experienced
anyways :)
Since I'm using behaviour.js and sometimes calling behaviour.apply() multiple
times per page-session, I can't use Event.observe, unfortunately :( I
probably can, but just don't know how, yet ;)

Flame me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you just skip the 'this' part and use 'el'
directly?
something like:
Event.observe(el, 'click', (function(event) {
Element.addClassName(el, 'myClass');
);
