Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment:
If we follow the behavior of the browser, we will have to pick one of the two
values and discard the other, making this value unaccessible. If we provide
both, scripts and libraries that use HTMLParser will have access to both and
can decide what to do.
For example BeautifulSoup already does the right thing:
>>> bs4.BeautifulSoup('<!doctype html><div class="bar" class="foo">text</div>')
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><body><div class="bar">text</div></body></html>
Changing this might also break code that rely on this behavior. I'm therefore
going to close this as "not a bug".
