Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the shown tag() call using HTML values in the text and href attribute. Trace how tag() escapes attribute content, then verify that the output preserves the expected ampersand without changing normal escaping behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
tag("a", list(HTML("&"), href=HTML("mailto:&")))
gives
<a href="mailto:&">&</a>
when I would expect
<a href="mailto:&">&</a>
NB: this is a problem to obfuscate email addresses using markdown for example.
