The 'helper' property of the shipped elements are used to hint to the
ViewHelper decorator which view helper to utilize. In most cases, that
attribute is removed before calling the view helper itself to prevent
its inclusion in the actual rendered element. If you can detail which
elements do *not* work this way, I'll try and correct the issue.
BTW, there's a mismatch between the available (X)HTML validators and the
actual (X)HTML specifications -- the specifications actually allow for
arbitrary attributes. Unfortunately, the validators do not -- which is
wrong.
