where a customer asks us for the ability to mask the content of an element's attribute - in that case aria-label might contain PII and they'd like to ensure it isn't captured
we can mask an element's text or an input's value
i believe it isn't possible to mask an element's attribute
Proposed Solution
addition of a function maskElement(element: Element) => Element | null
this would run ahead of other processing of a node and let you carry out arbitrary masking
for this case you could iterate and mask attributes
in practice it lets you carry out arbitrary alteration of the element
Alternatives Considered
if arbitrary alterations of the captured element are undesirable
then add a maskAttributes(attributes: SomeType[]) => SomeType[] | null
