Summary return QWebElement& from QWebElement::setAttribute()

How about returning QWebElement& from QWebElement::setAttribute() to make chaining possible? I guess other methods of QWebElement could take advantage from this change as well.

Changing the return type is not binary compatible (see http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Binary_Compatibility_Examples#Change_the_return_type). It could be done for Qt 5, though. Tor Arne, what do you think? Was this considered in the API reviews?

maybe RESOLVED - LATER instead of INVALID, so we can revisit it at some point?

Chaining was not considered a goal for this API, as in most cases a normal semi-colon and multiple statements does the same job and is more in line with Qt's existing APIs. foo.setAttribute("foo", "bar"); foo.setAttribute("biz", "baz");
