Why would you do this? I’m curious about this line here:
‘ul>li*3>a^href=http://www.google.com,text=GOOGLE,target=_blank,title=a navigation link’

The naked part isn't that bad, but I need control over my code. :P Indeed arian, good find.

http://github.com/mootools/mootools-core/blob/2.0wip/Source/Element/Element.js#L19

in Moo 2.0 you can do
new Element(‘div.class’); which creates a new div with “class” as class, or something like this:
new Element(‘div#myId[attr=value]‘);
this would be the same as

new Element(‘div’,{
‘id’: ‘myId’,
‘attr’: ‘value’
});

This can be pretty handy though, if you need to make tons of elements dynamically but don't want complex nesting.

If it does rear its ugly head then I hope someone lasso's it and pulls it into more (where it will become a dedicated 'DO NOT CHECK THIS' checkbox in my browser) :) @arian – I sincerely hope not!
