the code should be clever enough to detect that the <tag attribute=value> just
needs its value changed, not a whole new tag.

Comment 2

[buster]

fixed.  There is a separate problem that adjacent text nodes sometimes get
created needlessly, leading to output like this:
a<font size=+1>b</font><font size=+1>c</font>
which isn't "wrong" the way the problem originally reported in this bug is
wrong, but still should get cleaned up.  Leaving this bug open for that problem,
making it M11 low priority P4 severity minor.
