[xml] [PATCH] HTMLparser doesnt accept '>' in quoted attributes

[The Dude <reflexionsniveau web de>]

Hi,

the HTMLparser stops parsing a quoted attribute value on the char '>',
e.g. <meta name="Author" content="Root <root aol com>">

IMHO this is not good, here's a patch:

You end up exchanging dozens of e-mails, where you say, "That's bad
because of this and this," and they say, "Oh no, this programming
style is great." Then you have got to teach them a couple of years
of computer science so they can understand why it's crap.
