Why?
Maybe our respective biases are showing here, but it seems to me like
this sequence of calls:
document.head.setAttributeNS("test", "x:a", "a")
document.head.removeAttributeNS("test", "a");
document.head.setAttributeNS("test", "e:a", "b")
should act just like your first example. Which it does in Gecko, but
not in Webkit/Opera, right?
