Around line 866, in the function next_att(), you will find your
culprit.  next_att() splits attributes apart at spaces, regardless
of the quoting.  Apparently, this allows multiple attributes on a
single line.  Maybe there should be commas between them, or something.
Otherwise, the next_att() function will have to keep track of the 
quoting status: this starts to get ugly.
