[Laszlo-dev] event handler attributes

[P T Withington]

He is asking if with your new validator, users can finally create  
events that can be named in the open tag (the way only 'system' events  
could in the past, because they had to be declared in the schema).

I think the right answer is that any event that is declared, e.g.:

<event name="onripeness" />

should be permitted in the open tag.  But implicit events should not.   
Below, in Ben's example, 'onripeness' is implicit.

Along the same lines, in Ben's example, can I say:

<fruit ripeness="..." />

I.e., can I name _any_ attribute in the open tag now?
