If that was the case (I have not tested it), the attribute should be either
be declared (which however fails when parsed as tagsoup-HTML) or its value
set through a properly feature-tested DOM element property, because using it
as above would create invalid markup. Although no recent browser (I know
of) uses a validating (XML) parser, validity is crucial for a AJAX Web
application iff it uses XML or an XML application as underlying markup language.
