I'd originally argued for supporting the "on" version of the names, but 
the argument that carried the day was that the actual name of the event 
would be both more concise, and more accurate.

The idea of supporting both is interesting (be liberal in what you 
accept, after all), I don't think that it would cause any name conflicts.

However, at least in this case, the documentation is quite clear on this 
point:

The DOM event name is the actual DOM event name (for example: "click") 
as opposed to (for example: "onclick").

I suspect, however, it may be better to wait and see if this is a pain 
point for users...  It'd be easy to add this later without endangering 
existing code.
