HTML 4 mentions the above events (and others) for the COL column element. None
is fired with M11:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Gods
</CAPTION>
<COL ID="Name" ONMOUSEOVER="alert(event.type + ' for ' + this);">
<COL ID="Home" ONCLICK="alert(event.type + ' for ' + this);">
<COL ID="Power" ONKEYPRESS="alert(event.type + ' for ' + this);">
<TR BGCOLOR="blue" ONKEYPRESS="alert(event.type + ' for ' + this);">
<TH>
Name
</TH>
<TH>
Home
</TH>
<TH>
Power
</TH>
</TR>
<TR BGCOLOR="lime">

Hmm.  Interesting.  From looking at this and the HTML 4 spec I'm gonna have to
call this a bug in the HTML 4 spec.  The COL element has no direct visual
representation and its doesn't live in the direct ancestor line for the tables
rows/cells.  I don't see, therefore, how it could get events.  Its vaguely tied
to the columns themselves but only as an attribute holder.  Considering the
vague state of events in HTML 4 this isn't really suprising but I'm gonna have
to go with invalid here.
