Hi,

I've run some tests and confirm it works as I'd like it to. Thanks, I
really like this and I hope others like the plist syntax as well.

Late thought, sorry: If we can have this plist syntax as a general rule,
perhaps we should nevertheless keep the :options tag just as a fallback,
to ease the transition for users with a lot of legacy attr_html lines?
It's easier and less catastrophe-prone to do a quick search/replace from

: ^#\+attr_html: 

to

: #+attr_html: :options 

than it is to automatically replace verbatim attribute code with plists,
especially if there are all sorts of html irregularities in there.

Yours,
Christian

PS. Though if everything is nice and conforming to xhtml, one should be
able to batch convert files from verbatim html attributes to plist syntax with
something like the following  -- USE AT OWN RISK, NO WARRANTY IMPLIED:

: perl -i.bak -pe 's/([a-z]+)=([\"\'])(.*?)\2/:\1 \2/g if /^#\+attr_html/i' *.org
