Hi Matthew, This is related to a simplification of Attr that, if successful, would result in Attr no longer inheriting from Node: https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-attr If that happens, Node.prototype.cloneNode.call(attr) wouldn't work either, because attr would no longer be a Node, so it would throw an exception. Your best bet is to avoid Attr entirely, using getAttribute() and setAttribute() instead. However, if for some reason you have an Attr and want to set the same attribute on another element, element2.setAttributeNS(attr.namespaceURI, attr.name, attr.value) should do the trick.
