Re: [dom] Make Attr a Node again (#102)

I think it would be really sad to make Attr back into a Node. But, authors probably don't care, and implementers seem un-excited by the prospect. (I am a bit surprised nobody is excited about ripping out all the supporting code? But maybe it is just a sunk cost as @foolip says.)

Nevertheless, I would be hesitant to change the specification until Servo or some experiment shows specific evidence that the simpler model is web-incompatible. It seems OK for the spec to have the minimum-complexity model necessary for web-compat, instead of having the majority-implemented overly-complex model...

Maybe sometime in 2016 I could carve out some time to experiment in Blink.
