[Laszlo-dev] text attributes problems

[Jim Grandy]

We can certainly bump them to 3.4, but unless someone successfully  
argues for a higher priority I think they'd be P2's for that release.  
(Are you raising this because CSS early adopters are asking for these  
bugs to be fixed? How difficult would they be to fix? Do they need to  
be fixed if we have style constraints -- why not write custom  
delegates that "do the right thing" rather than calling setAttribute?)
