Comment:
Consider making .crossOrigin nullable
so that elm.crossOrigin = elm.crossOrigin doesn't change state from No CORS to
Anonymous, and so that you don't have to use removeAttribute to switch to the
No CORS state.

IDL would change `DOMString` to `DOMString?`.
On getting, if the state is No CORS, return null.
On setting, if the value is null, remove the content attribute.
