I recently learned that Mozilla has a fancier rule than just blocking execution
of all scripts with a for attribute, and at least some aspects of their rule
are required for Web compatibility. 

Here are their rules (now also implemented in WebKit trunk):
          -If there's only a 'for' attribute, execute it.
          -If there's only an 'event' attribute, execute it.
          -If there's a 'for=window' and 'event=onload', execute it.
          -If there's a 'for=window' and 'event=onload()', execute it.
          -If there's any other combination of both 'for' and 'event', don't
execute it.

The WebKit bug that led us to change this was:

(Note that executing all scripts with a for attribute is not Web-compatible
either, here is an example of the type of bug it may cause:
