Description Arun 2013-09-03 13:59:38 UTC 
Bug 23106 suggests that since 'type' attribute is used over HTTP and parsed like Content-Type, it should be a ByteString.
Comment 1 Arun 2013-09-06 17:27:21 UTC 
So actually, upon reflection, the restriction to ASCII, coupled with forcing lower case, makes byte sequence mappings trivial.  The spec. should stick to DOMString.
