I see it the same as you. Hijacking the 'rev' attribute is probably
better than hijacking the 'rel' attribute, as it is not used much.
But what I think we need is a safe way to add javascript event
handlers. As you say, it is possible to add 'onclick' as an
attribute, but it leaves the door open to have javascript code
inserted in wiki pages. I wonder if the ApplyStyles function could
be changed so that it will not accept values set by style markup for
certain attributes, in which I would put all javascript event
handlers.
That would make $WikiStyleAttr['onclick'] = 'a'; valid, but block any
%onclick=....% markup, and allow admin defined settings like
$WikiStyle['confirm']['onclick'] = 'return confirm("Are you sure?")';
