Speaking from ignorance here.
One advantage of the "resubscribe for every event" pattern is
that if the events are generated in one process -- an animation
process is the example used here -- and a message is sent to the
observer in another process, and the observer is slow, the
natural outcome will be to drop frames instead of queue up a lot
of messages pertaining to events that no longer need to be processed.
