$allowedposttags to allow value for <li>

[kraftbj]

HTML 5 allowed the value attribute in <li> elements for use with ols (e.g. setting <ol><li value="31"> would result in that item of the ol rendering as 31.

$allowedposttags strips that out currently, as that's not allowed.

Submitting a patch to allow the value attribute.

From the last IRC chat, nacin mentioned this may not be so straightforward of a patch, needing to ensure proper escaping, etc. I'm not sure the best way to ensure of this since we're just needing to add an extra attribute.

Happy to do the work to learn the process; can someone help me with what direction to go in to ensure that adding value attribute to the li tag works as it should?

A very similar "start" attribute to the ol tag is already in $allowedposttags.
