I don't think it's too hyped. Having calls to javascript in your
elements defeats the purpose of unobtrusively maintaining and using
libraries like jQuery. How can you stay that Rob??

unobtrusive in this case is keeping javascript out of elements.
onclick= binds them together.

>>>I think you have your design priorites backward. Firstly determine the
functionality required, then how to best implement it. If that means
using a library
obviously we're past that point. We've decided this was a good use
for jQuery. So how can you say priorities are tangled here when you
assume we're overthinking this because we're using a library. It
sounds as though you're a bit anti-new, stay hard core javascript type
of dude. If you're using javascript to make an entire application
fine, but I'm in with the new and new to me makes sense. Unobtrusive
is not overrated, it's good practice and it's a pattern as far as I'm
concerned.

The simple fact that you don't have javascript floating all over your
doc inside elements is alone a reason that unobtrusive rocks. Let
alone many other reasons.

Rob, keeping all JS outside of the HTML is a good practice, and keeps
everything nice and easy to maintain.
