The rules for escaping attribute values (which are string contents) are
different. For example you have to take care about escaping embedded '"'
and "'" characters; CGI::a() does that for us automatically.
CGI::a() does not HTML escape tag_contents; we would need to write
<a href="URL">some <b>bold</b> text</a>
for example. So we use esc_html (or esc_path) to escape tag_contents
as needed.
