Character '>' in Attribute Values

[neverwasinparis]

in many config sets, also in Sidkis, '[^>]++' is used in pattern filters to find the end of an opening tag. but what about a '>' in an attribute value?
for example:

Code:

<div onclick="A>1 && B()">

'[^>]++' stops after '<div onclick="A' and does not get what we want and could create invalid code.

so why is '[^>]++' used? did really nobody ever thought about that case? or is it not worth to mind it because it's rarely used?

with that (just an example):

Code:

<div(\s( \w=$AV(*)| \w)\#++|)>

we get what we want. it works no matter how many '>' there are in attribute values. but it makes the code harder to read and slower. that's for sure. but i think it's worth it to get no errors. what do you think?
