IE and input types

We suffer from the same issue. Setting the type of an input that is already a part of any DOM tree will cause an error in IE < 9.

patch(container, function() {
  elementVoid('input', null, null, 'type', 'text');
});

We're safe using statics, since the node won't have been inserted anywhere yet — statics are set during the creation and before alignment can insert it.

patch(container, function() {
  elementVoid('input', null, ['type', 'text']);
});

I have been thinking anyway that it would be nice to set all the attributes on the first pass before inserting the DOM node so that they would all be there if you are using the custom element attachedCallback.

While I think it would be possible to support this, IE9+ is now a pretty strong requirement.
