Seaside escapes attribute values, so this shouldn't be a problem.

There are many extensions to the "ajax" stuff that need integrating -
off the top of my head, John's LiveWeb stuff (which would include this
change, right?), André's extensions to it, and Rado's work to support
updating multiple elements and attributes at once.  Not to mention
that I'm still pushing to try using some existing (ie, maintained by
someone other than us) library like Prototype for the base of the
client side.  So I'm happy to keep throwing in these little patches
for now, but I think in the long term we need to step back and do this
right.

What I'm currently recommending is that people commit .mcz versions to
http://squeaksource.com/Seaside - it's world-writable.
