The nice thing about the XML approach is that it's explicit. I pretty much always split my MG XML into separate files, for the sake of organization, so the suggested modification to the event-handlers block would tie in quite nice.
A nice thing about XML is that you don't *have* to define the element if it's not required by the DTD ;). There's always CS for advice based on event names* (tho it would be nice if one didn't have to extend the MG core to wrap the event handler stuff, and it was in the default ModelGlue.xml instead, like the orm stuffs). *Example name-based advice is stuff like public.home, private.home, sometemplate.mainpage, public.sometemplate.home, etc.. with SES for pretty-ness and whatnot. -- If our life is unhappy it is painful to bear; if it is happy it is horrible to lose, So the one is pretty equal to the other.
