If I want to monkey patch Watir to recognize custom HTML attributes
("custom_attrib" in the example code) I just add this code:

module Watir

 class Element

   def custom_attrib

     @how = :ole_object

     return @o.custom_attrib

   end

 end

end

However, take a look at the custom attributes on this div element:

<div class="contentauthoring_cell_element" data-element-id="id6775571"
data-element-type="contacts">

Notice that those custom items contain dashes.  This is bad, because Ruby
does not allow dashes to exist in its method names.

So, is Watir simply unable to be monkey-patched for these sorts of custom
attributes? If so, that would be really unfortunate because it seems like a
pretty common thing to have in HTML nowadays.

OTOH, if it can be monkey-patched to support these things, then how?
