The SGI_SRC attribute is not the same as SRC, and should not be interpreted  
as such.  It is irrelevant whether it is legal according to official HTML DTD  
to have underscores in attributes.

This is a bug in the lexical parser.

All tags (including attributes) not recognized by the parser are to be  
ignored and discarded according to the HTML specs.

You can add any attribute to an HTML document, however, it may no longer  
comply with the HTML DTD for a particular published spec.  And as such,  
OmniWeb's lexical parser is supposed to discard the SGI_SRC and not substitute  
it for SRC.
