Is markup allowed in attribute values?  The particular case I'm thinking
of is this:

<meta name=description content="Source code and documentation
for <code>par</code>, a paragraph reformatter vaguely similar to
<code>fmt</code>, but better.">

I've read the HTML 2.0 spec, even tried reading the DTD (I don't
actually know SGML), but it doesn't seem to say one way or another.

Thanks,
AMC
