Yes, of course.
The ideal solution would be (IMO) to complain about the bad element
but - having done so - to ignore the attributes. However, this is
hard to do:
(1) Any change to the messages within OpenSP to suppress the warning
would also suppress it when it is needed - in the case of a
valid element having a bogus attribute.
(2) Outside OpenSP there isn't the machine-readable information
with which to distinguish the message from any other.
The second-best solution I have adopted for Valet is to show all the
messages, but insert them in-place in the source listing so it's
visually clear they belong together as a group, and what they apply to.
