Rails spinoffs - Sep 2005 - Expando? Bubble?

The last time I worked with DHTML I found myself using a lot of
    expando properties. I''d set properties and event handlers on an
    element, and I''d handle events in one place.

    I see that there are a lot of JavaScript objects created in
    scriptaculous, and I''m not seeing expandos yet.

    I found it much easier to treat the document as a data
    structure then to mirror that structure in JavaScript.

    Did people discover that expandos and event bubbling were faulty
    for some reason? I''m wondering. It''s been a while.
