 Currently
 themes[http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review#Template_Tags_and_Hooks
 must] use
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/language_attributes
 language_attributes],
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class body_class],
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/post_class post_class]
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_class
 comment_class]. Rather then requiring direct usage of those, it'd be far
 more useful to have (and instead require) functions for the entire
 attributes output, with corresponding filter hooks. The current `_class`
 functions/hooks would still run, albeit internally via these new
 functions. This approach is scalable to future attribute needs.

 {{{
 <html <?php html_attrs(); ?>>
 <body <?php body_attrs(); ?>>
 <article <?php post_attrs(); ?>>
 <li <?php comment_attrs(); ?>>
 }}}

 There also should be `get_` versions. Using the `get_` version in the
 theme (or manually applying the hook) should suffice to meet requirements.
 The hooks are the underlying reason for requiring these functions. Hooks
 would run in the `get_` versions. #23236 can ensure safe output and DRY
 code.
