@Chris: Yes, I'm with you on this. When you first introduced the idea
of multiple event-handlers in a file, the idea of the single event-
handler override with the type attribute wasn't mentioned, so I was
uneasy with that. The more I think about it now, the more I like this
idea -- exactly as you've just summarized.
The only situation I could see being slightly confusing is when you
have multiple default event types for an event-handlers block and, for
a single event-handler, you'd like to remove one of the default types
and add a new type. In this situation you'd have to list both your new
type and "repeat" any of the default types that you'd like to keep in
your event-handler type attribute. It feels a little funny to list a
default type in an explicit event-handler type attribute, but since
you need that to be an override, it's the only option I can think of.
I just mention it as the only situation I can see not being crystal
clear, but I'm okay with it -- still has my vote.
Here's an example, in which I want to override/remove the "secured"
default type, but keep the "templated" default type and add a "foo"
type:
<event-handlers defaultType="secured,templated>
<event-handler name="login.form" type="templated,foo">
</event-handler>
</event-handlers>
Best,
Jamie
