I don't think it would be too onerous (I may be wrong) to add the various event
properties to the browser. Adding the ability to do for example

i {onclick:"foo(this)"}

so that it wouldn't be necessary to add onclick="foo(this)" to every single <i>
would be very nice, and I don't think it would require much coding.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Include  i{onclick:"alert('Hi there!')"} in the CSS rules.
2. Load the document
3. Click on any italic text created by <i></i>

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Brought up an alert box with the message 'Hi there!'

It probably would be best to support all DOM 2 events (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html), or at least all HTML 4
intrinsic events (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.3 ).

We support XBL which is equivalent but more powerful.
