Summary: unquoted attribute value with comma handled poorly

Initial Comment:
In ekhtml_mktables.c, the method that specifies which 
characters are valid attribute values (valid_attrvalue)
does not include the comma (,), the semicolon (;), or 
the vertical bar (|). If any of these characters shows up 
in an unquoted attribute value, then the rest of the 
element is not parsed. An example that seems to show 
up pretty commonly is: <AREA SHAPE=rectangle 
COORDS=40,20,30,40 HREF="http://..."/>. In this case, 
the HREF is never found. As another example, if an 
unquoted HREF contains any of these characters, than 
the value will only include characters up to, but not 
including, the first offending character.

I propose adding these characters to the list of 
characters in valid_attrvalue. Here is the diff of 
ekhtml_mktables.c for this change:

72c72,73
<        in == '$' || in == '_')
---
>        in == '$' || in == '_' || in == ',' || in == ';' ||
>        in == '|')

Attached is the modified file
