Hi, Takeshi-
Thanks for your feedback.

Element Traversal Spec uses "attribute" word at ECMAScript Language Biding[1].
firstElementChild
This read-only attribute is of type Element.
But it is prefered to use "property" rather than "attribute" in
ECMAScript world. Other DOM Specs use "property" at ECMAScript
Language Binding (ex. DOM Level 1[2], ...).
The biding should be something like below:
firstElementChild
This read-only property is of type Element.
...
childElementCount
This read-only property is of type Number.
Indeed, that is how I defined it before, modeling it on earlier DOM
specs. I changed it in response to an earlier comment. [1] I was
perhaps overzealous in my changes.
Since "property" is JS terminology, while "attribute" is IDL
terminology, I should in fact use both terms. I'll correct this, thanks!
