To split some more hairs: in this case it's actually both, an attribute 
of the tag and a parameter of the fluid view helper ;)

Regarding supported attributes:
When implementing the form viewhelpers we were oriented towards the 
XHTML 1.0 Reference of w3schools [1].
But instead of adding all supported event attributes to every view 
helper we decided to introduce an "additionalArguments" attribute that 
you can use to specify any attribute you wish (see also [2]).

We might find a better solution to target different doctypes, but for 
now you'll have to stick with

<f:select additionalAttributes="{onchange: 'your script'}">

or go the unobtrusive way [3] ;)
