Research direction

Search the Java parser sources for the exact warning text and trace how an attribute without a value is handled. Confirm the obsolete warning is no longer emitted, and check the parser's existing tests for a suitable regression case.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

<a href> causes this warning:

Attribute href without an explicit value seen. The attribute may be dropped by IE7.

This warning should be omitted without replacement (later IE versions are not affected).

Thanks!
