setAttribute has not gone away, yet.

There is a proposal on the back burner to adopt Javascript 2 getter/ 
setter syntax in place of setAttribute.  Forgetting to call  
setAttribute is one of our most common beginner errors.  This would  
cause a major incompatibility with existing code, but I think being  
compliant with JS2 going forward is worth it.

I thought Max (cc-ed) had filed an improvement request to make format  
generally available, but I can't find it.  There is nothing in  
principle preventing us doing that, although the current Debug.format  
has lots of special hooks for making its output inspectable, which  
would be meaningless without the debugger -- so, disentangling that  
would take some programming.

If Max does not remember filing an improvement request, please do!
