Bug 162356 – Fix serialization of HTML Element attributes

• Component: DOM
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Chris Dumez]

Fix serialization of Element attributes to align with:
- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#html-fragment-serialisation-algorithm
- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#escapingString

In particular, we should not escape '<' and '>'.

Firefox and Chrome both match the specification.

[Chris Dumez]

Only impacts HTML. For XML serialization, we are supposed to escape '<' / '>' in attribute values:
