Meanwhile, there exists a proposal to make summary attribute conforming.
Not mandatory or anything, simply optional:

Looking at "version a" in that proposal, the only operational
requirement I see on existing browsers is contained on the last line:
The summary DOM attribute must reflect the summary content attribute.
As far as I can tell, that particular requirement is both redundant and
not in dispute. I say redundant in that HTML5 specifies that all
unrecognized attributes, "vestigial" or otherwise, are to be placed in
the DOM. And I know of no existing browsers or plans to do otherwise.
I think you misunderstand DOM attributes. Having said that, I doubt any
browser does not support the summary DOM attribute.
