What's the reason for adding the event bindings to .attr()? There can't possibly be existing code like $(el).attr('click', fn) that's expected to bind a listener. I could maybe see supporting .attr('onclick', fn) but the current implementation seems odd to me.

It's mostly for simplifying the process of setting properties in bulk - for example:

$("<div/>").attr({
  html: "Some stuff in here.",
  "class": "foo",
  click: function(){}
});

It effectively takes a bunch of the common setter cases, not handled by attr, and integrates them into a single method.
