That sounds like "we should never introduce DOM attributes again, and everyone should just always use getAttribute()?"

No, we should only have DOM attributes when they're part of the specification. HTML5 introduces a bunch of them, for instance. But with ARIA it was part of the design to not have them.


Yeah, I see that, and I've been thinking about that very issue.  Not
clear to me if Opera is happy if we simply make it so a standards-mode
DOCTYPE is necessary, as some of the invective is still demanding
removal of IE7 compatibility altogether.

We're not happy with documentMode, but making X-UA-Compatible work just
for standards mode would be an improvement. Just like doing IE8 mode by
default is an improvement.

That sounds like a no.

It was a yes actually :-) As in, having X-UA-Compatible only work in standards mode is an improvement over what the solution for X-UA-Compatible is now.
