Using CAS to apply an "onfoo" attribute is nearly the same (use a string value to pass the function, obviously). It'll only allow a single listener to be applied, though. If it's considered worthwhile, we can magic up this case a bit. CAS properties don't accept functions normally (or rather, as I have it defined in the OP, it would just accept a FUNCTION token, which is just the function name and opening paren, but I should tighten up that definition). We could have a magic function like listen(<string>) that, when used on an onfoo attribute (more generally, on a host-language-defined "event listener" attribute) does an addEventListener() call rather than a setAttribute() call. ~TJ
