Comment:
setAttribute should specify the parameters (at least how many, but probably
also a short description of each)

    <thetext>Why just setAttribute()?

The reason the methods in that section aren&apos;t explicitly described is that they&apos;re defined in DOM Core and I didn&apos;t want to risk contradiction DOM Core (e.g. if DOM Core adds more arguments or something).</thetext>
