Yes, it's more like a CSS presentation value than an attribute value.

There have been times that I wished SMIL animation could change the DOM, 
but the SMIL spec is clear, as Björn points out.

I would say this is a bug in Opera, if it really does add an attribute; 
that said, I suspect it won't make much difference for most purposes.
