It should be remembered that our current proposal does not solve all event problems, so we are really deciding how much Web content adds event handlers programmatically. If it is not much, why require a lot of developer hacking that we will ask them to stop using in the future, if DOM provides what we need in the future. We should do our best to get what can be achieved now through the DOM and try to work with the DOM group to get what we need in the future.
