Re: [whatwg/dom] Make element and attribute names behave like the HTML parser (#449)

Ah, very interesting. Browsing https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Namespaces_Crash_Course, it appears that people use namespaces for `xlink:href` mostly.

This makes me lean toward not caring about the -NS methods for attributes at all as people should mostly only have to use them for `xlink:href`, which [is going away](https://twitter.com/dstorey/status/700425693524414467). They can just use the null namespace for all attributes most of the time, which means only using createAttribute/setAttribute.

I guess that still leaves createElementNS though, and we maybe should make the attribute-NS methods consistent with that. So, what should our answer be for createElementNS?
