imho, doing octet->short and PRUint8->short is fine

$ grep 'attribute[ ]*octet' * | grep -v '[ \t]*\(#\|\*\|//\)'
nsIMarkupDocumentViewer.idl:  attribute octet bidiTextDirection;
nsIMarkupDocumentViewer.idl:  attribute octet bidiTextType;
nsIMarkupDocumentViewer.idl:  attribute octet bidiControlsTextMode;
nsIMarkupDocumentViewer.idl:  attribute octet bidiNumeral;
nsIMarkupDocumentViewer.idl:  attribute octet bidiSupport;
nsIMarkupDocumentViewer.idl:  attribute octet bidiCharacterSet;

$ grep 'attribute[ ]*PRUint8' * | grep -v '[ \t]*\(#\|\*\|//\)'
nsIAccessible.idl:  readonly attribute PRUint8 numActions;
nsIScriptableInterfaceInfo.idl:    readonly attribute PRUint8  paramCount;
nsISupportsPrimitives.idl:    attribute PRUint8 data;
