Philosophically, I agree with you, but please keep this in mind: (1) 6.4 and 9.3 are P2, 6.3 (re. NOSCRIPT) is P1. (2) No currently available browsers even support onFocus and onBlur. (3) The formal HTML 4.01 specification does not permit onFocus and onBlur to nearly the same degree that it validates onMouseOver and onMouseOut. Given the above, IMHO, time and effort that one might spend on this issue would be much productive if directed towards advocating for more robust development of NOSCRIPT content. Of course, if one is inspired by a campaign against the "click here" mindset -- and is bored by idea of championing the use of NOSCRIPT -- by all means work on the problem you care about!
