Inline Vs Dom Event Handling?

why I should use the dom level 2 event handling over inline events like ...

Code HTML4Strict:
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="myFunction()">click me</a>

I work in a team of developers and our pages are dynamically created using Java.I can at any moment change the inline JS across a site due to this so changes are easier then if the site was just static HTML.As far as reasons to use dom 2 over inline, I looking for something beyond:

it separates behavior from html

it is a best practice

it is the 'modern' way of doing it

I need facts that explain why it is a best practice or why 'modern' is better like : you can only assign one function action to the event.That was just an example which I see but is not true to me.I can either assign multiple functions to it like:

Code HTML4Strict:
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="myFunctionA();myFunctionB();myFunctionC()">click me</a>

or I can call my functions from a single function call like

Code HTML4Strict: <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="myMultiFunctionCall()">click me</a>

and then have a function defined before the inline call like

Code JavaScript:
function myMultiFunctionCall()
{[code].....

Here the second statement overwrites the first.By the way, here is a con for using dom and to me a big one considering debugging: you can't see what event handlers are assigned to what unlike inline where it is obvious because it is in the page. see http:[url].......
