Take a look at this overload which doesn't require qualified name:

void Element::setAttribute(const AtomicString& name, const AtomicString& 
value, ExceptionCode&);

Qualified name has something to do with XML/XHTML, I believe.  Don't 
know if you are allowed to come up with your own "my_something" 
attributes in HTML, but you may give it a try.
