Description
jQuery.data() should be able to (selectively) update data-attributes in order to make something like
$('.selector').data('foobar', 1);
selectable like
$('[data-foobar]').hide();
see modified code and jsFiddle for a possible solution (introducing a new argument 'updateAttr').

I'm terribly sorry to have bothered anyone with this. There's a much simpler (and imho cleaner) solution to this: http://jsfiddle.net/rodneyrehm/XV33m/
Nope. By design we don't write to those attributes under any circumstances, and doing so in a consistent way would affect all the data APIs plus incur a big performance penalty. Use
.attr().http://www.learningjquery.com/2011/09/using-jquerys-data-apis
