Summary: Incorrectly parses property whose value is the property name

Initial Comment:
   I'm using Expat 1.95.8. When I parse an XML doc
which has a property whose value is the same as that
property's name, and there is another XML property
after it in the same XML element, then Expat
misinterprets the first property's value to be the
second property's name. An example that demonstrates
this (more tersely, too!) is that Expat parses the input:

<message hello="hello" world="world">

...as if it were:

<message hello="world" world="world">

Another example would be:

<tag firstProperty="firstProperty"
secondProperty="secondProperty"
thirdProperty="thirdProperty">

...becomes:

<tag firstProperty="secondProperty"
secondProperty="thirdProperty"
thirdProperty="thirdProperty">

   It's a pretty rare case, obviously.

Thanks,
