Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Replying to [comment:22 kitchin]:
 > I'm not sure why we're texturizing shortcode attributes at all. The
 problem in comment:3 is solved by searching left to right for the next
 `]`, since we later agreed `[` and `]` must be escaped within a shortcode.

 Um yeah, we didn't agree on that, because in practice that never actually
 happens.  Even most internal uses of shortcodes won't escape attribute
 text.

 > There is an attribute "div_selector" with default value "> div.slide".
 So the shortcode above should be equivalent to:

 Okay I got that, but I have to go back to my last point.  You can't put
 that anywhere else in a post.  Ever.  It's a matter of chance that the
 shortcode parser even allows this.
