HTMX attributes are stripped from HTML nodes

[ouvreboite]

Description

I'm trying to use HTMX with mermaid charts. A naive usage would be to use the HTMX attributes in the nodes directly.

<pre class="mermaid">
  graph TD
    NodeA(<a href="NodeA.html" hx-get="NodeA.html">NodeA</a>) -->NodeB
</pre>

Sadly, the hx-get attributes (and others custom HTMX attributes) are somehow stripped and not present in the resulting foreignObject

<foreignObject width="27.125" height="24">
    <div  xmlns="...">
    <span class="nodeLabel ">
        <p>
            <a href="NodeA.html">NodeA</a> <!-- ⬅️ the hx-get attribute is missing -->
        </p>
    </span>
    </div>
</foreignObject>

I have set the security level to loose

<script type="module">
    import mermaid from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@11/dist/mermaid.esm.min.mjs';
    mermaid.initialize({
        securityLevel: 'loose',
    });
</script>

We use DOMPurify for the sanitization, which might be removing the attributes.
