[Bug 17871] Element attributes should not be required to be stored in an ordered list

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17871

--- Comment #13 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> ---
I think technically for WebIDL interfaces the order is the source order in the
spec, at least, there's a comment in the 2D canvas spec's source to the effect
that I need to keep certain members in a particular order for compat reasons.

I'm all for _requiring_ that UAs have some unpredictability in the sort order
for attributes, e.g. by salting their hash differently on each run or some
such, but that may be too far out there for y'all. (I remember requiring that
WebSocket clients send their headers in a random order for similar reasons. :-)
)
