    I tripped over the same problem mentioned in bug
    bpo-921657 (HTMLParser.py), except that my bogus attribute
    char is '|' instead of '@'.

    May I suggest that HTMLParser either require strict
    compliance with the HTML spec, or alternatively that it
    accept everything reasonable? The latter approach
    would be much more useful, and it would also be
    valuable to have this decision documented.

    In particular, 'attrfind' needs to be changed to accept
    (following the '=\s*') something like the subpattern
    given for 'locatestarttagend' (see the "bare value" line).

    Per bpo-921657, looks like the current behavior is correct.

    This should probably be solved as part of bpo-1486713 .

    The new strict=False mode from bpo-1486713 handles this case.
