$InputAttrs.

Both are proper -- SDV() is used for populating a single value (which
can be a simple variable or an element in an array), while SDVA
is useful for populating a lot of key=>value pairs at once, 
avoiding the need to call SDV multiple times.

In the case of $InputAttrs, just one variable is being initialized
($InputAttrs), and they aren't key-value pairs, so SDV() is used.

PmWiki doesn't allow the "onChange" and other javascript attributes
because they can be big security risks.  But yes, it's okay to add
"onChange" to $InputAttrs if your authors are trustworthy.
