#199 <name > becomes tagname and null Attribute

[Achim Westermann]

Hi Derrick,

I am not nitpicking on htmlparser. I just report this
behaviour to help to improve htmlparser.

I experienced that:

<a > becomes a Tag with the name Attribute at first
position in the Vector (getAttributesEx()) and a
strange Attribute with a null name at 2nd position.
Takes some debugging to catch it but it's possible to
deals with it. I don't know the reason and did not have
time to dive. Possibly somewhere in parsing code.

kind regards,

Achim

This is the desired behaviour.

The attribute in the second position is a whitespace
attribute, and is required to output the same HTML that was
read in. These whitespace attributes are generated very
often, whereever there is text, that isn't an attribute,
within the tag itself.

Of course this is an invalid link tag, and the parser's
interpretation of it (and your program's interpretation) may
be way incorrect, but a whitespace attribute is probably the
best way to handle it.

Marking it "won't fix" unless there's something more to it
than what's described.
