encoding/json: shows #ZgotmplZ in a custom attribute with name "data-data" but not with "data-go"

The error occurs when marshal a struct in a HTML inside of a custom attribute with name data-data but not with other name (for example, data-go)

I took a look this since I'm currently playing with the html/template package.

When checking the type of known attributes the html/template package removes "data-" prefixes so it can handle things like data-href or data-src as URLs or prevent unsafe values for fields like data-method. So data-data becomes only data (at least for the type checking). Since data is a known attribute used to specify the URLs for <object>'s the parser treats it, and thus data-data, as URL.

So I'd say this works as intended. But we should at least update the documentation to state that data-* attributes and attributes with namespaces are handled as if they had no data- prefix / namespace.

Change https://golang.org/cl/79895 mentions this issue: html/template: document handling of namespaced and data- attributes
