According to W3C
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html#adef-onclick:
<quote>The onclick event occurs when the pointing device button is clicked
over an element. This attribute may be used with most elements.</quote>

So I think my interpretation was correct. Of course that doesn't mean that
some browsers are not behaving in a different way, but if they do so, they
are kind of violating the HTML specs.
