The HTML5 parsing algorithm at least, which I cited, states that if a 
backtick (`) is parsed at this position, it constitutes a “Parse error”, 
that should be treated like “Anything else”, therefore “append[ed] […] to 
the current attribute’s value”.  This means it would become part of the 
attribute value.

An event-handler attribute value is parsed (per the definition of the 
default scripting language) as an ECMAScript /Program/.  But a backtick as 
first character of an ECMAScript /Program/ is a syntax error in ECMAScript 
implementations because it cannot be produced by production

| Program : SourceElements_opt

(assuming no syntax extensions).  Therefore, error correction would be 
necessary to execute that /Program/.
