For the record: if the code worked ok everywhere *except* in HTML5 
clients, that might have been a sign for a problem with the spec, not 
the code.

Also, if the actual overhead *would* be 16 lines I would claim that is 
totally acceptable.

Finally, if the properties are set consistently with the same piece of 
code, it's unlikely that there would be collisions.
