Description

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#custom-data-attribute

HTML 5 defines a specific pattern for custom data on nodes. Seams like the best idea to make use of that standard for defining the jQuery expando.

To fit that standard, this line:

var expando = "jQuery" + now(), uuid = 0, windowData = {};

Would change to:

var expando = "data-jquery" + now(), uuid = 0, windowData = {};

Just a clarification that jQuery adds a *property* (expando) to the element, not an *attribute*. It doesn't look like the HTML5 spec has anything to say about naming of properties.

I hadn't had a chance to re-read the data-* attrs portion of the spec, but now I have and in doing so, will be closing this ticket as invalid. Thanks Dave!
