dojo.attr(node, 'required') inconsistent in different browsers

[tanneman]

The command: dojo.attr(node, 'required') has different results on browsers, FF6 always returns a boolean while IE8/9 returns a string. See the table below for the output.

	IE8-IE9	FF6
<input required="true">	'true'	true
<input required="false">	'false'	true
<input>	null	false

Note that the behavior is correct for other attributes, it only occurs if its the 'required' attribute

We may need to introduce a pre/post-processors for dojo.attr() to handle this and similar tickets. My point is it will be a bigger change under the hood than expected.

Given that no one has shown interest in creating a patch in the past 4+ years, I'm closing this as patchwelcome.
