html() function does not return correct html for legacy created html strings

Description

According the HTML spec the disabled option being set is 'disabled="disabled"'

In old HTML and also as produced by some browsers direct innerHTML, and also anything that may be retrieved having been stored in a database or old email you can acquire strings like '<DIV><INPUT DISABLED></DIV>' not capitalised and no value for the disabled attribute.

My own html cleaner can sort this

$(ydrDynamicLoad.load("cleanser").xhtml("<DIV><INPUT DISABLED></DIV>").doc).html()

"<div><input disabled="disabled"></div>"

If you put this direct into $ you get a wrong solution - the input tag is not closed and the disabled attribute has the incorrect value "" rather than disabled

$("<DIV><INPUT DISABLED></DIV>").ydr_outerHTML()

"<div><input disabled=""></div>"

(Note ydr_outerHTML is my own widget that adds an outer element and then calls .html())

Note my typo - correct html has a / et the end of input

<div><input disabled="disabled"/></div>
