#Four Ways To Do Pub/Sub With jQuery and jQuery UI (in the future)

Between jQuery 1.7 and some of work going into future versions of jQuery UI, there are a ton of hot new ways for you to get your publish/subscribe on. Here are just four of them, three of which are new.

(PS: If you're unfamiliar with pub/sub, read the guide to it that Julian Aubourg and I wrote here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptjunkie/hh201955.aspx)

##Option 1: Using jQuery 1.7's $.Callbacks() feature:

$.Callbacks are a multi-purpose callbacks list object which can be used as a base layer to build new functionality including simple publish/subscribe systems. We haven't yet released the API documentation for this feature just yet, but for more information on it (including lots of examples), see my post on $.Callbacks() here:

 * var array = [];
 * for(var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {

How to use this gist

You've got two main options:

sub, sup {
  /* Specified in % so that the sup/sup is the
     right size relative to the surrounding text */
  font-size: 75%;

  /* Zero out the line-height so that it doesn't
     interfere with the positioning that follows */
  line-height: 0;

  /* Where the magic happens: makes all browsers position
