Well, that's the whole point. The core libs should handle the node
enable/disable part. The app knows when to enable/disable based on
some internal state. So why should all the apps write their own
nodeFilter function?

Ok, but contextMenu is one example. Assume it's an IDE like
split-pane. And if a node is clicked on the left-side, the
right-hand-side tabs get displayed.

If you just block the mouse-event the apps don't need to worry about
anything. Plus, it's a little cleaner in the sense that the event
won't need to propagate to any other component[s] and their listeners.
Performance wise too(how many ever function calls we can eliminate).
So I feel that pivot-core should handle it and not the apps.

thanks
