I had a form like

I tried to select it with
$("form[action='xyz']")
and I got back an empty set of nodes.

This is related to another ticket... but I don't recall the number right now.
We'll try to fix this for 1.3 (without hitting on perfomance).

This is actually a separate bug from 2747. To make this one consistent everywhere we only have to add 'action' into the list of attributes that are special to force them to be accessed using getAttribute('action'). Accessing Element.action (DOM level 0) pulls back a fully qualified domain in IE8 and FF. Attaching a patch.

So I was wrong. Something a little funky is going on. I'm attaching a complete test comparison for href, src, and action instead.
