Parsing error in class attributes doesn't report the line number
Reported by Keith Snyder on Twitter, e.g. due to a missing end quote:
<p class="x>blah blah</p>
the error will be "Error while parsing file: the value of attribute class etc."
This is likely reported by Jing, see why the line number is not reported and if it can be fixed.
Clearing assignee and removing from 4.1.0 milestone. Feel free to work on it and assign it back to 4.1.0 as long as we're still working on it.
Tested using this EPUB.
With versions 4.0.1 through 4.2.6 I get two errors:
Validating using EPUB version 3.0.1 rules.
FATAL(RSC-016): missing_quote.epub/OEBPS/1.xhtml(10,26): Fatal Error while parsing file 'The value of attribute "class" associated with an element type "p" must not contain the '<' character.'.
ERROR(RSC-005): missing_quote.epub/OEBPS/1.xhtml(-1,-1): Error while parsing file 'The value of attribute "class" associated with an element type "p" must not contain the '<' character.'.
Check finished with errors

The first error (RSC-016) correctly reports the line number, but the second one (RSC-005) has unknown location. If this issue is regarding the second error then it might explain it.
From 5.0.0 onward I only get one error:
Validating using EPUB version 3.3 rules.
FATAL(RSC-016): missing_quote.epub/OEBPS/1.xhtml(10,26): Fatal Error while parsing file: The value of attribute "class" associated with an element type "p" must not contain the '<' character.

So not sure if this issue is still relevant.
