Cute.
The compiler should have complained about the dataset class having
both and event and an attribute of the same name. But, perhaps one
or the other was not declared?

I spent a good two hours tracking down why I was getting two
dataset ontimeouts when I finally figured out that the event was
overloaded. The ontimeout event can be sent when setting the
timeout attribute (which sends a number) and also when the call
times out (which sends the dataset).
Here's a simple example demonstrating the problem:
<canvas proxied="false" debug="true">
<dataset name="mydset" src="http://foobar.timeout";
oninit="this.setAttribute('timeout', 1000);
this.doRequest()"/>
<handler name="ontimeout" args="ds" reference="mydset">
// Be careful! ds is the dataset whose request timed out, but
// can also be a number when setting the timeout attribute.
Debug.write('mydset got timeout:', ds);
</handler>
</canvas>
