Details

Using the setAttribute() method to set an existent attribute causes the loss of
element's reference or something, because when serializing the elements
attributes through the attributes[] array, the changed attribute appears twice,
one with the old value and again with the new changed attribute, and if there
were other attributes in the element, they do not appear when serializing the
attributes[] array after doing the setAttribute.

There's a missing '>' in the second attachment:

xmlns:xul = "http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
<xul:script>

Fixed missing '>'.
