To be precise, other child elements are possible, like “colgroup”.  But 
definitely not “script” elements.

This is not Valid.  Valid possibilities are:

  <body onload="setFocus(document.forms[…].elements['myControl'])" …>

  <body onload='setFocus(document.forms[…].elements["myControl"])' …>

  <… on…="setFocus(this.form.elements['myControl'])">

  <… on…='setFocus(this.form.elements["myControl"])'>

An attribute value delimiter cannot be used as string literal delimiter 
within that attribute value, not even as ECMAScript escape sequence.  The 
only possibility to have that is to use character and character entity 
references in the script code, which will be resolved by the markup parser 
before they get to the script engine – e.g.,

  <… on…="setFocus(this.form.elements[&quot;myControl&quot;])">
 
– or move the offending code out of the attribute value.
