Opinions for fixing ticket #302

I stumbled across an issue with "value" attributes in <input> nodes
about a month ago. It seems the behavior is different when using
node.value vs. node.setAttribute("value"..):

http://trac.mochikit.com/ticket/302

So the question now it whether or not to patch
MochiKit.DOM.updateNodeAttribute(). Or if I should just update the
docs with a short note and link to the relevant page at MDC:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:element.setAttribute  (see the "Notes")

Opinions?

Cheers,

/Per

Personally, I'd consider Firefox's behavior a bug; the Firefox people
all but admit as much themselves in that article you linked (I
consider "works inconsistently" to be a euphemism for "bugged").
Given that Mochikit is all about overcoming weird little browser bugs
like this and hiding them behind functions that work consistently
across all browsers, it seems to me that "fixing" updateNodeAttribute
would be the proper course of action.

However:
A) I never use that function, so who am I to talk?
B) If someone could make the case that Firefox's behavior is a feature
and not a bug, I could then see leaving the function as is and simply
changing the documentation.

Just my two cents.
