Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: onclick attributes have valid use cases, e.g. analytics. While it is
certainly true that they are sometimes misused, such misuse is already made
non-conforming by the spec and it is impossible for a conformance checker to
reliably distinguish such cases from conforming cases.
