The "style" attribute is perhaps a better example, as it is in some cases a
list of lists, e.g.
<div style="transform: rotate() translate(); background: red
url(foobar.png)" />

A list of lists in markup is usually expressed as either sub-elements or as
non-markup syntax inside an attribute; Enumerated attributes are highly
unusual.
