We can def do without any more wars :) I've been thinking about how i use event types and looking back over a few apps i never use an event type for every event (ie a default event), or have an event type thats used in a single place (which is pointless). I'm always using event types on groups of handlers.
So specifiying an all encompassing default type doesn't do much for me as i'd have to pick my most commonly used types then override on every handler where i need a different type or adding type="" where I don't want a default, which seems wrong. Adding an optional attribute doesn't seem like anymore of a change than a config property. If allowing multiple <event-handlers> blocks in a single config file is a problem, then i'd settle for splitting my differently typed events into separate files, but as it wouldn't break any existing apps I think it would be fine.
