Sorry, I actually missed your use of transformer. I was thinking of something even simpler:

<class name="mouseattachment" extends="node">
        <method event="oninit">
                this.parent.mouseisin = false;
this.moverdel = new LzDelegate( this, "onmouseover", parent, "onmouseover" ); this.moutdel = new LzDelegate( this, "onmouseout", parent, "onmouseout" );
        </method>
        <method name="onmouseover">
                this.parent.mouseisin = true;
        </method>
        <method name="onmouseout">
                this.parent.mouseisin = false;
        </method>
</class>

(I guess I could just answer my own question by trying this code out. I'll do that if I get time tonight.)

I've seen code in various places in the LFC and components that creates event handlers with reference attributes to hook into events in a parent view. Granted it is manual, not automatic like states, but couldn't this technique be used to build attachment classes that simply register for
events at initialization?

So are you proposing a transformer class (not like an LFC transformer) which tends to be used as a singleton and which takes LzNode instances and
tinkers with them? e.g.

    <transformer name="trMouseView">
        <method name="transform" args="v">
            v.addAttribute( "mouseisin" , false );
v.bindEventHandler( "onmouseover" , this.setMouseIsInTrue );
            ...
        </method>

        <method name="setMouseIsInTrue">
            this.setAttribute( "mouseisin" , true );
        </method>

        ...
    </transformer>

Yes. Wouldn't this work? How does this require namespaces, five bug fixes, or a change to the inheritance hierarchy?
