You can, yes, if you script them that way. However, in that case:

1. Processing is defined: the 'click' handler is executed first; then, 
if the default action is not cancelled, the associated form (if any) is 
submitted. The order is not defined for a element with two _default_ 
functions.

2. UAs don't have to provide a distinct mechanism for activating the 
'click' handler as opposed to submitting the form.

I don't think we'd want to make 'click' handlers non-conforming; it's 
clear enough what UAs should do with them.
