No it isn't, it is "reserved for future use". If you use <SCRIPT FOR="someObject" EVENT="someEvent"> you are deep in MS proprietary junk. In HTML4 the for attribute and htmlFor DOM property are only defined for form elements, and in HTML5 the event and htmlFor IDL attributes of the script element are both obsolete and browsers are instructed to ignore them.
