I just noticed the bit about "data", and read your thread on
scintilla-interest. Note that "data" is an attribute of the "object"
element:

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-object-element
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element/object
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535859%28v=VS.85%29.aspx

I get your point (scintilla-interest thread) about data- not being
valid, but Scintilla syntax colouring != HTML5 validation and
validator.w3.org will tell you "Attribute data- not allowed..." (in
addition to picking up other nicely styled attributes that don't
belong). It may not be worth taking this any further, I reckon.
