There could be a custom event for this one situation dispatched by the 
UA, for example.  What the event would be would need to be standardized, 
of course.

Alternately, page authors could poll the attribute value, without 
relying on mutation events at all.

Even more alternately, authors could ignore the SHOULD-level requirement.

The point being that none of this actually requires mutation events.
