I think this is a cons. Now you need both markup and code where you only
had code before.

This also does not scale very well and it brings us down the XBL/HTC path:

<script event="click">
....
</script>
<script event="mouseover">
....
</script>
<script event="mouseout">
....
</script>
<script event="mousedown">
....
</script>
<script event="mouseup">
....
</script>
<script event="mousemove">
....
</script>

All these interleaving code-markup  blocks makes the code harder to read
and maintain.
