Joern Nettingsmeier again spoke too soon when he wrote:
Good idea. I'm not that familiar with javascript. I am unable to get it to work on body. I can get it to work on document however. Not sure there is much of a difference in this instance between the two values.

i've done some experiments with this as well, and i've hit a snag:

there can only be one such handler per element, and only one window.onload function. which means that it's not as modular as it looks: if two included scripts use the window.onload trick, one will have its function overwritten... there is a better event handling mechanism available that avoids this problem (addEventListener()), but the joke that passes for a browser in redmond still does not support it :(
you could add global code to the included js like so:

lenyaDisableBackspace();

but it won't work either, because at the time it is executed, a <body/> node does not exist yet. hrrmpf.

morale: your approach is more robust (but mine looks better :-D)

given that functions are objects in js, the following might work:

var somebodyElsesOnloadHandler = window.onload;
window.onload = function() {
  somebodyElsesOnloadHandler();
  ourOwnStuff();
}

need to test that some time...
