Re: [Ocamlnet-devel] attributes without values

[Gerd S. <in...@ge...>]

The parser does so because the HTML-4 standard (don't know whether
HTML-5 changed this) explicitly specifies that a value-less attribute
must be handled like this.

Maybe that should be configurable. The spec could go into the dtd, and
it would just include all standard cases, so that attributes outside the
standard are not affected.
