Possible to add data-validate="x" to Safecracker form tag?

Question

I'm wanting to add a new parameter (data-validate="parsley") to the Safecracker form tag. I know this isn't possible out of the box but was wondering whether it was possible to write a simple(ish) extension that could do it?

If anyone can give me some pointers, I'm willing to have a go.

Cheers

Jim

I've created an extension that'll let you do it.
https://github.com/jazonv/SafeCracker-HTML5-Attributes

In addition to data-foo="bar", it'll also lets you use autocomplete="no" and novalidate="novalidate".

(Inspired by this gist by Objective HTML)

I'm by no means a PHP/Add-on dev. I just wanted to 'have a go' too. Hopefully there's nothing wrong with it.
If any better-versed devs want to give it a once over, that'd be appreciated.}
