When I think of dispatcher, I think of something that is the source of events, not someone that is the listener. When you call registerInspectorDispatcher for example, that is asking InspectorBackend to notify your object about Inspector domain events, but it sounds more like you are regestering an event generator more than an observer.

I think register*Dispatcher should be renamed register*Observer or register*EventListener.
