Since this NamedNodeMap is only intended to contain the element's Attrs,
that should throw
     HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR
                             If any node is inserted somewhere it doesn't
belong

You're absolutely right --  we don't say this explicitly, and we
undoubtedly should. Good catch!

Time to restart the errata list...
