Granted, the transformation on the <body> element does preserve whatever JS statements 
may have 
been contained in the transformed <body>, but those in themselves are not the 
window.onload 
handler.  Rather, the effect of @onload is to set (i.e., overwrite) window.onload.  So 
if I want my onload 
logic not to be clobbered here, I have to specify it via @onload — but this is not 
convenient for me, as 
my HTML <body> element is generated by a common page stylesheet several 
transformations down 
the pipeline from the source document that cares about the onload handler.  I 
shouldn't have to add 
more coupling (tags and XSL) to drive this styling template and micromanage the <body> 
element it 
writes; much nicer to say "window.onload = initialize;" or whatever, in an external 
javascript resource (I 
already have transformations in place that let me drive a child of <head> into the 
HTML... e.g., <script 
type="text/javascript" src="...">).  At any rate, if forms-lib.js would accomodate 
(i.e., preserve) 
window.onload, that would just be one less surprise (and one less thing to spend time 
debugging) for 
the user.
