Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 r55711 updated the PHPDoc for the `$text` parameter.

 > What is everyone's thoughts on introducing this code in a new function
 (something like maybe wp_parse_atts), updating core to use the new
 function, and deprecating shortcode_parse_atts. That way we can introduce
 a better, more reliable function and not break backwards compatibility.

 I'd vote not to deprecate `shortcode_parse_atts()` until there is some
 other core use-case for that new function.

 Adjacent to this, I looked at the the HTML API (that was introduced in
 6.2) and it does not appear to have a modern equivalent either
 unfortunately, nor does there appear to even be a need to "parse" all of
 the attributes from a string into an array anywhere else in core
 currently.

 With the benefit of hindsight from 5 years ago to now, I think I agree
 more with @joyously's last comment, where maybe this is worth leaving as-
 is and closing as wontfix?
