Details

(Whiteboard: [nsbeta2-]) 

The above test shows a number of problems that all have something to do with
empty-string attribute values:

* elem.removeAttribute() doesn't remove the attribute node completely, but it
does decrease the length of the NamedNodeMap and set the attribute value to "".
It's still accessible through elem.attributes.getNamedItem() and
elem.getAttributeNode()

* elem.SetAttributeNode(attNode), where attNode.value=="", does not increment
elem.attributes.length

* elem.setAttribute("att", "") does not do anything.  It should add an attribute
node (and remove an old one if necessary - it may do that - I didn't check).

Tested on:
 * Linux 1999-07-27-08-M9
