Re: HTML attributes not being stripped off

[John MacFarlane <fiddlosopher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

You've got to remember that pandoc converts the input format to an
internal representation of the document (the 'Pandoc' structure), and
then converts that to the output format.

This internal representation (see
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pandoc-types/1.9.1/doc/html/Text-Pandoc-Definition.html)
is much less expressive than HTML, and doesn't have a place for the
attributes you want.  That's why they are lost on HTML -> HTML
translation.
