FireFox ( v2 and v3) throws an exception when appendChild on the attribute node in the attached test case.

Created attachment 21921 [details] Another version of the test case This test case demonstrates that accessing the length property of the ChildNodeList before the call to appendChild changes the value of the length property after the call to appendChild.

This was fixed in bug 33850, but it would be nice to land this version of test case.
