Why do we want to tie .className to a particular attribute name? I

So that you do not need namespace knowledge.
Namespace knowledge where? As an implementor? Or as an author?
The whole point if a universal .classList and .className is to make
authors not have to deal with namespace knowledge, imo. And it doesn't
require mapping to a specific attr name for that.
