No other browser supports this and we have just learned that this
attribute can be used to leak information about cross-origin resources[2].

While it seems worth removing immediately to me, I'm interested in
additional feedback.

I ran a search on BigQuery over HTTP Archive data (just for desktop) and here are the results:

I only looked at 10 random items, and nothing seemed alarming -- just enumeration of attributes, or mapping strings to props, or regular expressions looking for valid attributes.

(Might be worth someone putting in more than 5 minutes of poking around though).
