[issue10599] sgmllib.parse_endtag() is not respecting quoted text

[Michael Brooks]

New submission from Michael Brooks <firealwaysworks at gmail.com>:

In the attached example is a very simple usage of sgmllib that is trying to parse:
<input value="><a href=http://bug>link</a>">

The bug is that sgmllib is parsing this href.  Browsers on the other hand see this as the input's value.  

Also keep in mind that escaping of quote marks in HTML is not like python.  \" is not a character literal "  thus <input value="\"><a href=http://bug>link</a>"> is still quoted text and the href should not be parsed. 

Thank you
