Do we still need to stringify attributes before assigning them?

[nhunzaker]

React manually stringifies all attributes before assigning them:

https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/packages/react-dom/src/client/DOMPropertyOperations.js#L169-L179

This appears to be for IE8/9. However it's possible that this is an IE8 only behavior. See IE9:

Can we get rid of '' + value in DOMPropertyOperations?

I wouldn't trust compatibility mode too much, maybe old FF has this problem too (if we still support it)?
