I do not feel strongly about the syntax, I’ll leave the bikesheding to 
others.

I don’t understand what you mean. Attribute values are Unicode strings. 
The process of going from a single string to a list of token is called 
tokenization. We already have a well-defined tokenizer for CSS. Do you 
propose having a different, "dumb" tokenizer for attr()?

I don’t see how this relate to whether a token stream matches <value>.
