That would be a performance regression for WebKit, which is why we ended up
with this goofy property-not-reflecting-attribute scheme.

It would be helpful in figuring out what to do here if we had a list of sites
that don't work with the spec's current behavior.  I believe WebKit currently
matches the spec precisely in this regard, so those sites should presumably
break in the WebKit nightly.
