Events in the DOM can "bubble" up the tree. Section 6.2.3 of the candidate recommendation specification describes how this works. But the important thing is that you only have to register your listener on the root and not on *every* node. Section 6.6.4 from the specification tells you which MutationEvents bubble up the tree. Some don't. For the others, you should be able to register your event listener on the root of the tree and receive the notification. If our implementation doesn't behave the way that the spec details, then we need to know so that it can be fixed by someone.
