I'd like to autolink to the hidden attribute from a Bikeshed document with <{element/attribute}> syntax, but I've run into two problems:

  • The spec doesn't appear to export it.
  • re: the Bikeshed <{element/attribute}> syntax, what should element be for global attributes? @tabatkins says "What to make a global definition 'for' is up to the language. I'd recommend either 'global' or 'html'."

Originally raised as speced/bikeshed#1606.

There's at least one instance of htmlsvg-global in the document. That would make this html-global I suppose, but I'm not sure that's the precedent to follow.

Lots of relevant discussion in #5418 as well.

Fwiw MathML-Core had approximately the same idea (need) of wanting to link to global attributes...

Meta: properly export global attributes and their values
423e0dc 
Closes #5417. Previously many of these were marked up as element-attr,
but without a for="", which is invalid according to the Bikeshed
linking contract. dir="" was especially messed up, with its *values*
marked up as element-attr, but the attribute itself not marked up at
all.

This includes some other related fixes such as:

* Unifying the inconsistent definition location for these attributes.
  Sometimes they would be defined in their section headers; sometimes
  separately. Now they are all defined separately.

* Marking up some of the related IDL attributes.

* Delegating definitions of xml:space, xml:lang, and the style IDL
  attribute to other specifications, instead of re-defining them in
  HTML.

This uses for="global" for any-namespace elements and for="html-global"
for HTML elements.
