Maybe it's time to start defining some object-oriented programming model
for exhibit.
What if we definedan "attribute handlers" architecture for new exhibit tags.
Any developer could write some javascript that registered a particular
method (function) on a particular new exhibit tag.
When exhibit encountered that tag while parsing, it would invoke the
method, passing in the object being constructed (view, facet, lens,
content) that included the tag, and also the argument associated with
the tag.
So in your example below, you would register a tooltip-callback
function, which would be invoked whenever ex:tooltip appeared in a
facet, and get passed that object representing the facet and also the
value of the ex:tooltip attribute.
