           Summary: Element.setAttributeNode() shouldn't modify the
                    attribute node

The spec says that Element.setAttributeNode() lower cases the attribute name.
It doesn't make sense for a method on Element to mutate the attribute node.

Either the spec shouldn't prescribe lower casing for attribute nodes or the
lower casing should take place in Document.createAttribute().
