the spec is literally just data-* (hence the name): you can add whatever you want to it and remain in spec. And they're meant to be read by javascript (like datastar)

I've had this pinned on my twitter profile for a few years now, for people like you: https://x.com/dmitriid/status/1860589623321280995

I never argued that those attributes weren't compatible with HTML.

Hey, that was a low blow, you can do better than insult another user!

On the topic: it might be in spec but it’s still a DSL inside an attribute
