Is this a JSDOM bug, an HTML5 serializer bug, or what?
/* Using aredridel/html5 and tmpvar/jsdom */
var sys = require('sys');
var HTML5 = require('html5');
var p = new HTML5.Parser("<p>hello, world");
p.parse();
var doc = p.document;
var head = doc.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
var metaCharset = doc.createElement('meta');
head.appendChild(metaCharset);
metaCharset.setAttribute('charset', 'utf-8');
sys.puts(HTML5.serialize(doc));

This is what gets printed when I run the above:

<HTML><HEAD><META></META></HEAD><BODY><P>hello, world</P></BODY></HTML>

Notice the incorrect meta element.

metaCharset._attributes.length is 0, which leads me to believe the problem is in jsdom.
