How is "standard" cross browser event management done outside of the libraries?

The topic of event handler management has been covered in many places in the past. One location is in the contest by PPK. The winning submission by John Resig has a few problems, and the commentary on the site seems to gravitate to the implementation by Dean Edwards after the analysis of the Resig code.

There are even some more implementations here on stackoverflow such as from: Bill Ayakatubby and Marco Demaio.

Outside of the JavaScript frameworks, what is generally done for supporting event functionality? There are numerous options each with their own benefits and drawbacks. I'm uncertain of which one to use myself. Is there an undeclared de facto?

There are three unsupported standards for XML event management, which each have JavaScript implementations:

Since none of the standards are implemented cross-browser, the de facto standard is called intrinsic events.
