issue-118 (Fwd: [Bug 21084] Clarify that only certain attributes need translation, such as alt="", title="", lang="", perhaps href="", hreflang="", but not attributes such as class=""/id=""/style="".)

This is relevant for issue-118. See from
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-translate-attribute
NOTE: above spec is not the W3C HTML spec, but the WHAT WG spec. I'm not 
yet sure what below change would mean for HTML5.

[

When an element is in the translate-enabled state, the element's 
translatable attributes 
<http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#translatable-attributes> 
and the values of its |Text 
<http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#text>| node children 
are to be translated when the page is localized.

When an element is in the no-translate state, the element's attribute 
values and the values of its |Text 
<http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#text>| node children 
are to be left as-is when the page is localized, e.g. because the 
element contains a person's name or a the name of a computer program.

The following attributes are translatable attributes:

  * |abbr
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-th-abbr>|
    on |th
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-th-element>|
    elements
  * |alt| on |area
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-area-alt>|,
    |img
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-img-alt>|,
    and |input
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-input-alt>|
    elements
  * |content
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-meta-content>|
    on |meta
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-meta-element>|
    elements, if the |name
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-meta-name>|
    attribute specifies a metadata name whose value is known to be
    translatable
  * |download| on |a| and |area| elements
  * |label| on |menuitem
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-menuitem-label>|,
    |menu
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-menu-label>|,
    |optgroup
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-optgroup-label>|,
    |option
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-option-label>|,
    and |label
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-track-label>|
    elements
  * |lang
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-lang>| on
    HTML elements
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#html-elements>;
    must be "translated" to match the language used in the translation
  * |placeholder| on |input
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-input-placeholder>|
    and |textarea
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-textarea-placeholder>|
    elements
  * |srcdoc
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-iframe-srcdoc>|
    on |iframe
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-iframe-element>|
    elements; must be parsed and recursively processed
  * |style
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-style-attribute>|
    on HTML elements
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#html-elements>
    elements; must be parsed and recursively processed (e.g. for the
    values of 'content' properties)
  * |title
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-title>| on
    all HTML elements
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#html-elements>
    elements
