ISSUE-2 (OnFoo Attributes): Event Handler Attributes (onfoo
Attributes) and Add/Remove Event Listener [DOM3 Events]

Raised by: Doug Schepers
On product: DOM3 Events
Should Event Handler attributes (so-called 'onfoo attributes') be
exposed in the Add/RemoveEventListener interface?
I don't think any browser exposes these currently via addEventListener/
removeEventListener, but they do participate in the event dispatch
order. Another way to look at it is: they are added, but the function
created from the attribute is not added directly, it is wrapped with
an event listener that cannot be observed from JavaScript.
