Ok, so we have to distinguish between HTML attributes and DOM property attributes ( http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/html.html#ID-642250288 )

The current implementation of setAttribute() and attribute() corresponds to HTML attributes, and the namespace "overloads" of these functions stress this. So the current behaviour is very well defined and I don't think we can change it without breaking the *NS() overloads or introducing inconsistencies.

Consequently I think what we need here are functions to change the DOM property attributes. 

The most logical way I think to implement this would be to add this when we change to V8 and introduce QtScript as dependency in the API. Then we can have property setters/getters that correspond to properties in JavaScript, which are a 1:1 mapping to DOM property attributes.
