[Bug 26596] Attr.value cannot be readonly

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26596

--- Comment #2 from Philip Jägenstedt <philipj@opera.com> ---
First I think we should determine if making Attr not inherit Node and not have
child nodes is going to fly. Unfortunately there are lots of APIs that expose
the fact that Attr is a Node and has children, at least:

childNodes
firstChild
lastChild
insertBefore
replaceChild
removeChild
appendChild
hasChildNodes
cloneNode
normalize
contains

... and probably more. The best I can think of is to try to separate these into
buckets AttrChildNodeAccess and AttrChildNodeModification and see if usage is
low enough. Am I missing something?
