But what I am saying is that doesn't matter - he's going to instead (if he tries my idea) completely get rid of his listeners for mouse overs of these containers and children, and listen for custom events that bubble up instead. The dispatching will be done inside the children's and container's own class definition, triggered by mouse over event, but within the class - this will trigger the custom event to bubble. At that point, who cares if the off-the-shelf mouseover events bubble, he wouldn't be listening for those anyway, only within the individual child classes in order to dispatch the custom events. Make sense? That said, I could have a gaping hole in this idea I'm not seeing at the moment...
