In any case, we can't use NamedNodeMap, as Attrs aren't Nodes. However,
we don't expect many pages to use attributes in other ways than by
looping through them. In particular, even if we didn't use the WebIDL
array type, we would replace NamedNodeMap with something like
interface AttrList {
getter(unsigned long index);
};
unless that breaks a significant number of sites. I certainly don't
expect to change the specification until it has been implemented by a
mainstream browser.
