Not sure. However, when checking out Test 10 of Acid3 (and doing some TCs that
are not in there), I realized that webkit has this problem.

Element.textContent = "" removes all nodes from the element.
Attr.textContent = "" removes all nodes from the Attr (in Safari also).

It probably makes sense for Attr.value = "" to be consistent and do the same as
Attr.textContent = "".
