  • Whitespaces no longer accepted between </ and the tag name.
    E.g. </ script> does not end the script section.

  • Vertical tabulation (\v) and non-ASCII whitespaces no longer recognized
    as whitespaces. The only whitespaces are \t\n\r\f .

  • Null character (U+0000) no longer ends the tag name.

  • Attributes and slashes after the tag name in end tags are now ignored,
    instead of terminating after the first > in quoted attribute value.
    E.g. </script/foo=">"/>.

  • Multiple slashes and whitespaces between the last attribute and closing >
    are now ignored in both start and end tags. E.g. <a foo=bar/ //>.

  • Multiple = between attribute name and value are no longer collapsed.
    E.g. <a foo==bar> produces attribute "foo" with value "=bar".

  • Whitespaces between the = separator and attribute name or value are no
    longer ignored. E.g. <a foo =bar> produces two attributes "foo" and
    "=bar", both with value None; <a foo= bar> produces two attributes:
    "foo" with value "" and "bar" with value None.

  • Fix data loss after unclosed script or style tag (htmlparser unclosed script tag causes data loss #86155).

Also backport test.support.subTests() (gh-135120).

…according to the HTML5 standard (pythonGH-135930) (pythonGH-136268)

* Whitespaces no longer accepted between `</` and the tag name.
  E.g. `</ script>` does not end the script section.

* Vertical tabulation (`\v`) and non-ASCII whitespaces no longer recognized
  as whitespaces. The only whitespaces are `\t\n\r\f `.

* Null character (U+0000) no longer ends the tag name.

* Attributes and slashes after the tag name in end tags are now ignored,
  instead of terminating after the first `>` in quoted attribute value.
  E.g. `</script/foo=">"/>`.

* Multiple slashes and whitespaces between the last attribute and closing `>`
  are now ignored in both start and end tags. E.g. `<a foo=bar/ //>`.

* Multiple `=` between attribute name and value are no longer collapsed.
  E.g. `<a foo==bar>` produces attribute "foo" with value "=bar".

* Whitespaces between the `=` separator and attribute name or value are no
  longer ignored. E.g. `<a foo =bar>` produces two attributes "foo" and
  "=bar", both with value None; `<a foo= bar>` produces two attributes:
  "foo" with value "" and "bar" with value None.

* Fix data loss after unclosed script or style tag (pythongh-86155).

Also backport test.support.subTests() (pythongh-135120).
