I made it up for use with the selector. Technically, custom (made-up)
attributes are invalid in HTML4, but in practice browsers just ignore
them (but do preserve them and give them to getAttribute/
readAttribute), although validators like the W3C's[1] flag them up (of
course, that's their job). As of HTML5, custom attributes are
explicitly allowed if they start with the prefix "data-". So you can
have your own attributes if you like -- "data-foo", "data-bar", "data-
my-nifty-thing", etc.
