That's because the browser interprets the "input" tag like this:
input type="text" name="testing" value=""
In other words, the "value" attribute is an empty string, which is why
the browser doesn't show {"boo-boo"}.
There's also a fault in my ML dialect, as I never considered that people
might want to display text with double quote marks. My ML dialect (or
maybe Build-Tag dialect) should check every string! attribute value and
'escape' any double quote marks inside (so that people don't have to
worry about this.
