It was that way before, but many pages were already using those

I understand that good judgment will have been applied. Hence out of
mere curiosity, do you happen to have any data to share: how many
documents (out of how many more) are we talking about, and in how many
instances would problems have arisen (I understand reuse of the same
attribute values not to cause any, as in “<form action=foo><input
action=foo></form>”)?
No hard numbers. But this triggered problems in a significant number of
sites, including Google properties ;-) The problems were mostly
DOM-related by the way. People expected the action IDL attribute to return
something else than it did, for instance.
