	 * At this point the internal cursor points to the end of the tag name.
	 * Rewind before the tag name starts so that it's as if the cursor didn't
	 * move; a call to `next_tag()` will reparse the recently-updated attributes
	 * and additional calls to modify the attributes will apply at this same
	 * location, but in order to avoid issues with subclasses that might add
	 * behaviors to `next_tag()`, the internal methods should be called here
	 * instead.
	 *
	 * It's important to note that in this specific place there will be no change
	 * because the processor was already at a tag when this was called and it's
	 * rewinding only to the beginning of this very tag before reprocessing it
	 * and its attributes.
