Since HTML5 says the property should be read-only, we should do one of the
following:

1) If other browsers make it read-write to JavaScript, we should propose a
change to the HTML5 spec, and eventually make the property read-write for all
language bindings.

2) If other browsers have it read-only, then we should eventually fix our
JavaScript binding for this property to be read-only as well, and in the
meantime not propagate the mistake to other bindings.

In any case, it seems like leaving the property read-only for other bindings is
safer in the short term, since it would be an API break to remove the setter
but not an API break to add it. In addition, the right outcome here is clearly
less ifdefs not more - so adding an extra conditional doesn't move the code in
the right direction.
