I know the code size has grown a bit. There are a few excuses for  
this- switching from tabs to spaces, rewriting the code as OO, adding  
a new feature, etc. But still I know that I've added a bit of weight.

As I've mentioned, my reasons for choosing MochiKit were quite  
arbitrary. Still, I do quite like MochiKit and it seems that it has a  
few nice things that jQuery lacks. Chief among these is the ability  
to connect events to methods of instances objects (correct me if I'm  
wrong, but it doesn't seem that jQuery can do that).
