This description doesn't quite match the code change, there is no early exit.

Yeah, could be worded better.

Oops, yeah. We still need to call Element::attributeChanged.

Can't we just not call attributeChanged() when nothing changed?

No, unfortunately, parseAttribute needs to be called even when the attribute value didn't change because some attributes on some elements can have a side effect.

And Element::attributeChanged also creates a mutation record for mutation observer, which is pretty important.
