The parsing section says that < in an unquoted attribute value
terminates the tag. However, according to my testing[1], IE7, Gecko,
Opera and Webkit don't do this -- they append the < to the attribute
value. So I think the parsing section is wrong here.
IE also lets < be an attribute. It can also be part of an attribute or
element name. This means that:
<p</p>test
will become a 'p<' element with a 'p' attribute which has 'test' as
textContent. This basically means less exceptions in the tokenizer for
the '<' character which would be fine with me.
As I just mentioned on IRC, this essentially means removing the SHORTTAG
TAGC OMISSION feature of SGML which appears not be supported by Internet
Explorer, Opera and maybe Safari.
