At least in XML, this is built-in behaviour of attributes, afaik. Not 
sure about HTML5.

I think in IE, as a general rule you can say that 
node.getAttribute(name) is identical to node[name].

GetAttribute doesn’t actually look at the XML, but as far as I know 
always accesses the DOM property with the same name. Thus, URL values 
are processed and resolved against their base URI even though that 
doesn’t make sense. For this same reason, e.g. label.getAttribute('for') 
also doesn’t work in IE, you have to use label.getAttribute('htmlFor').
