So the SVG WG discussed this and they would like this as well. (They basically want the same behavior as HTML has here and converge as much as possible.) The change to the current mechanism required for SVG is to expose an "evt" variable somehow in scope of the Function.
Why, exactly? I thought for SVG the "evt" thing was only relevant for content attributes, not IDL attributes.
Now does it make sense to have the IDL attributes on Element but not have the content attributes on all elements? That would mean it still depends on the markup language what you can use as on* attributes which is not very straightforward.
It might make sense to look into that too; I did not propose it because that's not what UAs do right now. At least Gecko doesn't; I didn't look at others.
