cvs build (source from a few days ago), building testparser requires a patch to
the tests Makefile, but the same assert happens on linux and in mozilla

I:\build\mozilla\dist\bin>testparser test_1115.html null
Type Manifest File: I:\build\mozilla\dist\bin\components\xpti.dat
###!!! ASSERTION: attribute encountered -- this shouldn't happen unless the
attribute was not part of a start tag!: 'Error', file
i:/build/mozilla/htmlparser/src/CNavDTD.cpp, line 2256
^ happens five times

###!!! ASSERTION: unsupported leaf node type: 'Not Reached', file
i:/build/mozilla/htmlparser/src/nsLoggingSink.cpp, line 717
^ if necessary, we can address this additional assert in another bug.

note that viewsource on this url apparently causes even more assertions (bug 180329)

This particular assertion is harmless. It just means that attributes were found
in tags other than start tag. Please ignore this assertion.

This was due to bug 167493. Should be fixed now.
Keywords: assertion
>This particular assertion is harmless
er, so why is it an assertion?
Er, unless that's a file specifically to test for our support of this quirk,
doesn't the file need fixing?
chb@frodo:/tmp$ egrep '</[^>]+=' mlp_status.html 
chb@frodo:/tmp$

--> I can't find the place of the file that would trigger this assertion - no
end tag in the file seems to have attributes.

Can I somehow find out which part of the file triggers that assertion? (without
manually truncating the file until it no longer shows up)
>This particular assertion is harmless
>er, so why is it an assertion?

I do hit the assertion for the follwing testcase:

<html><body>
<table>
<p><h3>Please Enter your Homesite Login, E-mail and Password to delete</h3></p>
<form method="POST">
<input type=submit>
</form>
</table>
</body></html>

so...have to take my word back. That's the assertion is real and needs attention. 

Note: I'll figure out what's going on with the above testcase.

FWIW, I just ran across this assertion at
<http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/docs/glyphs/glyphs-4.html>.
For another testcase, try almost anything at www.mapquest.com, where I'm getting 
this with a debug build (built yesterday). To echo a previous comment, could 
this assertion be modified to inform the user of what attribute it doesn't like? 
That way it would be easy to tell if I need to do some evangelism at Mapquest, 
or just watch this bug.

The testcase in comment 5 comes right from bug 142965, marking as a duplicate.
