Ignore invalid URLs inside template elements

[aarongustafson]

HTML templates are used for JavaScript and often contain placeholders or empty attributes. HTML proofing rules for links, images, etc. should not be run in there.

Interesting, I'd not come across this tag before. From the MDN page:

While the parser does process the contents of the <template> element while loading the page, it does so only to ensure that those contents are valid; the element's contents are not rendered, however.

presumably html-proofer should do the same, though I'm not clear on what "valid" means in this case.

I'm also not familiar with this tag! @aarongustafson could you show me a real-world HTML snippet where html-proofer is erroneously interfering with tags inside of a <template>?
