Last time I asked that, the answer was "Different CDATA here". 
RFC 1866 recommends using ALT="a &gt; b" instead of ALT="a > b"
but that would make no sense if entities were not parsed in
attribute values.

And since both ALT (on IMG) and HREF (on A) are declared as
CDATA, I see no reason why they should be treated differently.
