In section 4.3.1[1] it even seems to be defined as normative:

| The body element exposes as event handler content attributes a number
| of the event handlers of the Window object. It also mirrors their
| event handler IDL attributes.
|
| The onblur, onerror, onfocus, onload, onresize, and onscroll event
| handlers of the Window object, exposed on the body element, replace
| the generic event handlers with the same names normally supported by
| HTML elements.
