Interesting.  I started something like this with ProtoType framework which 
seemed to be very nice.  Unfortunately, other matters intervened and I haven't 
gotten far.

Although I wouldn't classify ProtoType as a framework like ExtJS, it's a great 
and useful abstraction of the DOM I think.  My idea was the same and ProtoType 
seemed to have a particularly nice abstraction of event mechanism in JavaScript 
DOM (called eventObserver? I think...) which looked like it would lend itself 
very nicely to creating an event framework between the javascript client side 
and FPC/Delphi based server applications why I could create a EventListener 
Server Side and hooked it into a web page widget for the click event of a button 
or the OnChange of a text box using AJAX and ProtoType's abstraction for it.
