ng-attr cannot add attributes that end in "-start"

[mattiash]

I am generating svg from one of my directives. I need to add marker-start and marker-end attributes using ng-attr.

The following snippet works fine:

  <path ng-attr-marker-end="{{line.markerEnd}}">...</path>

It generates a marker-end attribute as expected.

However, the following snippet does not work:

  <path ng-attr-marker-start="{{line.markerStart}}">...</path>

It does not generate a marker-start attribute, but generates a marker attribute instead.

The same behaviour can be observed in the following snippet:

I discovered the bug in Angular 1.2.14 and I have also reproduced it in Angular 1.2.1. The bug exists both with Chrome 33.0.1750.146 and Firefox 27.0.1.

This is a dupe of #5370, of which there is a PR. I'll talk to Igor about how merge-able that is today probably. I'll leave this one open for now though since the other one has been closed

If we're not gonna fix this before v1.3, at least throw an error and tell people why their directives won't parse the way they think?

1.3 is like next week pretty much, it's right around the corner

That's great news indeed!
