In modern browsers, $('body').on() delegation from .element should behave exactly the same as native document.body.addEventHandler() with an if (Event.target.className.matches(/\belement\b/)) in the callback. It may be very slightly slower in jquery due to $.proxy overhead but don't quote me on that.
