Paul Benedict commented on STR-3191:
------------------------------------
Since attribute values are not executable content, I can't see why we would
continue allowing those values through unfiltered. It may not be 100%
compatible with anyone who has filtered, I grant you that, but it is keeping
open a scripting vulnerability. I don't see how it's possible to address it
without creating a compatibility issue.
> Sufficently filter HTML tag attribute names and values
