It seems to me that there are too many events that UAs can support. For
example, for forms you can have "onPressRightArrow" and "onPressX" (from the
Lynx browser), and IMG/OBJECT you can have "onMouseOver" etc. Isn't it
futile to try to define all these events? They're not very media-independent
either...
