The $op is relatively easy to understand but clunky to use. So I would certainly find individual hooks/functions for each one of the states a cleaner way to do things.

How complicated would it be to move to a true event-based model, where modules register as listeners to events and respond to them rather than hook in through functions that have the right names? I was thinking that a structure similar to menus would be nice and would replicate ideas from other parts of Drupal meaning that newcomes have fewer concepts to learn. A module registers to an event/hook the same way it relates a URL to a callback function and the callback function is where the module performs actions related to that event.

Best,

Ronald

Whoops, I meant "fall-though cases."
