Dominic stated several reasons.
(Element.create('div') instanceof HTMLDivElement);

I've stated in prior threads, that unless the word is aria-* or data-*,
properties are set on the element.
Here, I've added attributes as another reserved word, for setting
attributes.
The proposed attr() method sets properties, as create() does.
Element.create('div',{className: 'class'}).attr({className: 'class ', attributes: {'class': 'class'}).getAttribute('class') == 'class';
