Hi all,
When loading a document with html:parse(), an extra attribute is added to every <a/> element.
<a href="abc"></a> becomes <a shape="rect" href="abc"></a>
This usually comes from the HTML 4 or XHTML 1.x DTDs. It is actually not incorrect behaviour, although i never liked it either.
It's similar to inferring a tbody element in a table if none was supplied.
