Prototype's custom event bubbling

[wycats]

To quickly do event bubbling with custom events, Prototype creates a *real* click event, modifies it, and fires that. As a result, the browser takes care of bubbling. It's fast, and, as far as I can tell, foolproof.

What do you guys think about doing something like that in jQuery?

Prototype's Element#fire does not support firing native events whereas jQuery's trigger does. $.fn.trigger differs from Element#fire that it only triggers the handlers but does not actually create and dispatch the event.

If jQuery is to use the *real* event technique, will $.fn.trigger behave consistently for custom events and native events?
