You do not appear to know anything at all.  You do not even know that you 
don't which is, of course, the core of the problem.

Not everywhere anymore.

Instead of making bad jokes you should have told about restrictions with 
file:// in MSHTML.  But then again, what else to expect from you.

Curious that Google would ship such obvious junk requiring proprietary 
attributes when it was their Ian Hickson who helped editing HTML5 so that it 
supported custom attributes with “data-” prefix as a standards-compliant 
approach.  Curioser still that their example claims to be HTML5 when it 
clearly is not Valid.  And if that was not bad enough, they are using 
jQuery.  I would not be too surprised if Google Groups – deeply flawed
both on the client and server side – was written using AngularJS.

But then again, what else to expect from you.
