We can't change `setAttribute()` like that. There's too many things that rely on attributes being strings (e.g., selectors) and the behavior of the method is to call `ToString` on arguments passed (per IDL). Changing that would break content all over.
This is also the wrong place to propose changes to core DOM APIs. Those should go to whatwg/dom, but breaking changes of this nature will end up being rejected.
