Whats the advantage of having localized event aggregators rather then just one at the app level. Is it just to avoid event name collisions? Hey Im also a fan of using pub/sub.

The app itself doesn't use anything 3rd party - only the test suite does. In the future (after this project), I want to explore what WinJS + Backbone would look like and see if that would really bring any value to the table, where it would bring value, etc. Of course all of that depends on how much free time I have :) In the current project, our goal is to create a sample app that provides core guidance on how to build a WinJS app with as few external libraries as possible.

Did you have a constraint where you couldn't use third party libraries? Since you are already a big Backbone user, why wouldn’t you just use Backbone events?
