There's no real way to fix this without relying upon
defined-to-be-undefined behaviour in CPython/lxml, and as such I'm
reluctant to do so. lxml says attributes are given in an arbitrary order,
and they are stored in a dict which CPython makes no guarantee of the order
of. (lxml does always insert attributes in document order into the dict,
and dicts are ordered by insertion order, so it does actually work… for
now, at least).

Yes, we could go against both the lxml/CPython documentation and rely upon
the ordering, but if either ever changes their behaviour, it could mean
html5lib could potentially start serializing the same lxml parse-tree in
random ways, and I'd much rather go for the definitely-consistent route we
have now.
