So my conceptualization of how event attributes relate to EventHandler seems to 
have been a little mixed up, but Boris has kindly set me straight. It is of 
course the name of the event in the attribute string that concerns me. With my 
newfound understanding of the attribute/EventHandler conceptualization, I agree 
that this is the name of the event in the *called* scope, and the name of 
handleEvent's single parameter.

Apologies for the confusion.
