Yes, only attributes defined in the specification are conformant.
I was specifically referring to section 8.1.2.3. Let me call your
attention to the following text:
Attribute names use characters in the range U+0061 LATIN SMALL
LETTER A .. U+007A LATIN SMALL LETTER Z, or, in uppercase, U+0041
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A .. U+005A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z, and U+002D
HYPHEN-MINUS (-).
Despite this, later in document, in the description of "Attribute name
state", no parse error is produced for this condition. Nor does the
current html5lib parser produce a parse error with this data.
Correct. We're not doing validation. Just tokenizing and building a tree.
In the process, parse errors are generally emitted in cases where
individual characters are encountered which do not match the lexical
grammar rules. Just not in this case.
