Document: createAttributeNS() method
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The Document.createAttributeNS() method creates a new attribute node with the specified namespace URI and qualified name, and returns it. The object created is a node implementing the Attr interface. The DOM does not enforce what sort of attributes can be added to a particular element in this manner.
