It would make things easier for everyone: increase readability, reduce chances
of errors, of inconsistency, ...
In addition, it would fix the following bug in the specs:
"-0" is currently considered as an invalid value according at the rules for
parsing non-negative integers which means if "-0" is set to a content
attribute, the IDL attribute should return the default value. This is not what
implementations I've tested (Presto, Webkit, Gecko) seem to do: "-0" is parsed
as "0".
