Note on terminology: Attribute types

I think we will gain precision by using consistent, spec-wide  
terminology to distinguish between DOM attributes and attributes  
defined on elements (reflected by the DOM Attr interface). The spec  
uses (at least) three different terms for the latter:

"attribute"
"content attribute"
"element attribute"

IMO "element attribute" is the most unambiguous and descriptive  
alternative. At least, simply using "attribute" should be avoided.
