New PHPIDS vector

A PHPIDS bypass using IE's language attribute to declare an event handler as VBScript, a very old feature never used in XSS and absent from the cheatsheet. VBScript needs no parentheses to call a function and the plus sign coerces the argument, which removes the need for quotes inside the attribute. IE8's XSS filter catches it.
