I'm following up on the forum discussion:
https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/proposal-allow-simple-tag-to-parse-
attributes/36769

I think a sensible first step is trying an opt-in argument as Adam
suggested, e.g., `allow_all_attrs=True` or perhaps
`allow_all_html_attrs=True`.

For implementation details, I propose:
1. Whitelisting common punctuation characters (`@`, `:`, `-`) for
attribute names
2. Making these attributes accessible directly (only) from kwargs, such as
`kwargs["@hello"]`

Comment:

Hello Giannis, thanks a lot for opening this ticket and sharing the idea
in the forum!

I took a look at the related forum thread, and while I think you are
following the right procedure, I feel there is not enough consensus around
this yet. As far as I can tell, only Adam has expressed support, and the
use case and overall value of the feature still feel a bit unclear (at
least to me).

I'm going to close this ticket as `wontfix` for now, but I'm definitely
happy to revisit and reopen it if the idea gains more traction or if
there's a clearer picture of the need and benefit. I'll also cross-post in
the forum to invite more discussion and see if we can get a broader sense
of interest.

Thanks again for taking the time to bring this up!
