Using `setAttribute` can be tricky, as "IE doesn't propagate changes
made via `setAttribute` to the visual display of an element" [1]
(except for `className` and `style`.
So, if we can identify _all_ the buggy attributes --as `value` seems
to be, the special cases could be added in the same way the other
fixes are (`innerHTML` et al.)
Otherwise, HTML attributes can be set securely through:
element.setAttribute(attrName, '');
element[attrName] = value;
By the way, John: May I ask about the second parameter (`2`) passed to
`getAttribute` in line 1276 of rev 234? What does it do?
