Well, there are 'server-side handlers' and there are client-side event handlers. Now client-side CAN be totally dealt with at the XSLT level (ie you can simply generate javascript as you with to your heart's content with XSLT any old way you want, you could even conceptually build a tag syntax for that along the lines of XSP. I have the feeling that XForms is partly doing that...
Then of course there is the server-side which is what we're talking about here. I only wanted to point out that you might not want to coopt the "javascripty" onClick, onSubmit etc style attribute names.
