ele.setAttribute(x, val) works on any element. ele[x] = val does not. They
also behave differently for a large number of cases and the latter often
takes values of a type other than DOMString.

Would you expect to write contenteditable as contenteditable or as
contentEditable? Also, would you expect custom to end up as a content
attribute on that <link> element? Because it will not with this code.
