One use case that hasn't come up but may be better supported by other means: debugging. As far as I can see, there is no view in, say, Firebug that shows me an overview of event listeners added with addEventListener(). In many cases this would be very useful. (By "better supported by other means" I meant that an alternative would be to enable something like the proposed functionality in "debug mode" or "debug builds" only. It seems more useful to me personally to simply have it available though.) -- Hallvord R. M.
