I think, and I'd guess this agrees with what Chris had in mind, that no, we don't need a mouseover replacement there. This brings up another problem though. What if an object already has both a mouseover and an onfocus event? They are logically different after all. Simply replacing the onmouseover with onfocus doesn't work in that case.
