HTML 4 defines that onmouseover is an intrinsic event handler of the COL 
element. However, when I set up a table col element with an onmouseover handler 
that doesn't fire when I mouseover the table column.

<html>
<head>
<title>col test</title>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1">
<col style="background-color: blue;" 
     onmouseover="alert(event.type + ' for ' + event.target);"
>
<col style="background-color: red;">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
Name
</th>
<th>
Home
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
Kibo
</td>
<td>
<a href="http://www.kibo.com">http://www.kibo.com</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Any update on this? It's still not firing and doesn't fire for <colgroup> either. This seems to also be why :hover support is missing for both of these elements.

All major browsers have this issue at the time of writing.
