How about now?  :-)

I have created a simple patch that deals with this.  However,
preliminary testing indicated a problem with the semantics.
Normally, Wget allows this:

    <img src=/foo/bar.gif>

With this patch, this causes the tag to back out (i.e. be proclaimed
invalid) because it expects '/' to be followed by '>'.  Of course, I
could make the attribute value swallow everything until whitespace or
'>' and *then* look for a '/', but what about this:

    <img src=foo/>

Is the '/' a part of `foo' or does it close the tag?

Is the whitespace preceding the closing '/' mandatory?  If so, we can
make it so that the following all differ:

    <img src=foo/>     # <img src="foo/">

    <img src=foo />    # <img src="foo"></img>

    <img src=foo/ />   # <img src="foo/"></img>

Any opinions?  Advice?  Standards-lawyer-speak?
