Description John Jansen 2015-06-04 16:33:41 UTC 
CURRENTLY:
"Although the [html51] spec is very clear about the difference between the properties and attributes of a Document element, users are frequently confused between the two. Because of thisend point which covers the case of returning either of the value of a Document element property or attribute. If a user wishes to refer specifically to an attribute or a property, they should evaluate Javascript in order to be unambiguous."

EXPECTED:
