Simplification: Catalog_Helper_Output processing logic

[amenk]

In https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/master/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Helper/Output.php there is an interesting logic that allows to specify callbacks for processing attributes.

But I feel, that the same purpose can be already served by simple events.

When not adding events like "catalog_helper_output_productAttribute" and "catalog_helper_output_categoryAttribute" which serve as hooks for the events processing ?

Yeah this is an old piece of code that was intended to be a view helper. But it is non-conventional implementation comparing to other components and should be redesigned. Alexander, we'd appreciate if you contribute a better implementation you suggested.
