Hm. You are right. However, a few things *do* happen:

1) Though you don't get errors, you do get warnings (the button in the 
bottom right corner becomes red)

2) For the new elements, then Amaya removes the quote marks once you 
save the document. (The quote marks stay intact as long as the source 
code view is open - and active, but if you move the cursor to the 
WYSIWYG window, then they are removed.)

Btw, you can also use the HTML4 *strict* doctype — that will work as 
well, and is thus recommended since the strict doctype triggers 
no-quirks (or "standards") mode.
