Of course, to make it really robust, an HTML parser should be used, but
I think that we can get it mostly there (except pathological cases).
Didn't somebody mention something about lenient parsers before? :-)

/(?:\s(?:name=['"]RID['"]|value=['"]([^>]+?)['"])[^>]*?){2}/is

Answer in $+, no matter the order of the attributes in the tag (or
intervening data), or the contents of "value".  Of course, a good
programmmer would use /x and comment :-)
