There seems to be an inconsistency here.

We don't have owner data right now, because an input item can be referenced 
and monitored by multiple parties. I don't understand how a single owner 
pointer works with potentially multiple callbacks from different listener.

I'm not saying that the current approach is right and immutable. In fact, most 
other object types with callbacks have a single owner and a single set of 
callbacks, and maybe that's how input item should be.

But at least the current approach is self-consistent.
