Anyway, it might not be a bad idea to allow the option to use single quotes around an HTML attribute, though not sure of the best way to achieve that. Maybe use a double underscore to identify such attributes:
INPUT(..., **{'__data-options': XML('{"mode":"calbox"}')}) or add a "json" argument to specify attributes to be treated as JSON: INPUT(..., json={'data-options': '{"mode":"calbox"}'}) In the above case, it would know to use single quotes and to wrap the string in XML(). Perhaps it could also be smart enough to take a dict or list and automatically convert to a JSON string.
