+\code{<>} brackets.  The \var{name} has been translated to lower case.
+Double quotes and backslashes in the \var{value} have been interpreted,
+as well as known entity and character references.
 For instance, for the tag \code{<A HREF="http://www.cwi.nl/">}, this
 method would be called as \samp{unknown_starttag('a', [('href',
 'http://www.cwi.nl/')])}.  The base implementation simply calls
 \var{method} with \var{attributes} as the only argument.
