Description Simon Pieters 2014-09-29 12:23:29 UTC 
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/innerhtml/raw-file/tip/index.html#dfn-concept-serialize-attr-value should also have these entries for proper roundtripping:

U+0009 CHARACTER TABULATION with "	"
U+000A LINE FEED with "
"

(I think U+000D doesn't need to be roundtripped since the HTML serializer doesn't roundtrip it.)

I think U+000D should be escaped too.

Microsoft Edge generates decimal entities like 	 
 
.  Blink will follow Edge.
