Do you mean "by design"? I don't think so! Or, please, tell me how to do.

Being able to match attributes values with a regular expression might be very useful in XML parsing.

I think you misunderstood my post.

I think this was requested in the past at jquery-dev.

Can you ask for feedback at jQuery's google group ?

Then we'll see. You can link to this ticket if you will.
