Ok, if handlers can be kept independent, your solution is absolutely
fine. Its also desirable to keep them independent.

I'm just not sure this is the whole story. When we look at the axis
inversion example, this is rather insufficient. And it provokes
workarounds, such as those you described.

I think the choice depends on how often conflicts occur and how hard it
gets to deal with them. Unfortunately, I can't find my crystal sphere ;)
