Description
In the following HTML
<body>
<a href="#">Should alert when clicked.</a> <a href="#" class="one">Should not alert when clicked.</a> <a href="#" class="two">Should not alert when clicked.</a> <script src="js/jquery-1.4.2.js"></script> <script>
$("body").delegate("a:not(.one),a:not(.two)","click",function(){
alert("DELEGATED!");
});
</script>
</body>
$(...).delegate("a:not(.one,.two)","click",...) does work.

In your original logic based on your HTML/JS supplied:
if a is not 'one', then it is either link 0 or link 2 a is not 'two', then it is either link 0 or link 1
on the whole this would result in the set [0,2,0,1] being assigned an alert of 'DELEGATED!' so any link clicked would fire this off. You then supplied a slightly different case (a:not(.one,.two)) which also wouldn't work.
Rather than doing this, if you are trying to just prevent links 'one' and 'two' from firing the alert whilst using delegate to still assign the click to any links, you can do this:
$("body").delegate("a:not('.one','.two')","click",function() {
});
See: http://jsfiddle.net/dakW9/1/
$("body").delegate("a:not(':eq(1)',':eq(2)')","click",function() {
});
See: http://jsfiddle.net/dakW9/
Both of these work as desired.
