Indeed, in general we have very poor handling of on* properties. Our
code for dealing with that needs a rewrite.
But my point was that I think the spec already might have a mechanism
for dealing with what you are asking for. So we should encourage
implementations to implement the spec properly, rather than adding
other mechanisms and hoping that browsers get those more right.
