html embedded in an attribute creates exception at template creation in IE ver 6-8. about jquery-tmpl HOT 2 CLOSED

Can you provide a bit more context for repro of this problem. I run the following in IE8 and the attribute is in the rendered template instance, with the content preserved in the attribute, and no error on line 431:

<script id="template1" type="text/x-jquery-tmpl">
    <span data-foo="<test>">content</span>
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $("#template1").tmpl().appendTo("#results");
    });
</script>

We need to distinguish between bugs in the jQuery templates code, and problems in browsers that are not anything to do with templates...

from jquery-tmpl.

The following used within a template produces an error in all versions of IE.

This used in template produces an error in all browsers.
