Could you please quote the spec you're looking at? For example, DOM 2 Events explicitly says that "implementors may view the setting of attributes which represent event handlers as the creation and registration of an EventListener on the EventTarget".

I agree that we should strongly consider matching other browsers, but spec story seems unclear here.

Also, it's a non-trivial question which objects should be considered callable (cf. for example bug 40012), which is why I'm interested in the exact text.
