Never heard of a "content attribute" either. Google has, but it has

That is a new term in HTML 5. The term "content attribute" helps to
differentiate between an Attribute attribute and a DOM attribute.
If fails. The terms HTML attribute and DOM property are already
pretty well understood and reasonably easily explained.
"For example, className is the DOM attribute for the class content
attribute and htmlFor is the DOM attribute for the for content
attribute)."
Right. Because it would not be valid to have a keyword as a property name..
That was already fixed. Introducing the term "content attribute" for
both HTML attributes and DOM properties is a step backward.

Well, one small step for MS. Were the technical writers that pressed
for time? They've had a decade to figure this out.
Not only MS - some of Apple's documentation must rate amongst the
worst ever.
