Subject: Bug when interpreting attribute values
I have chosen not to subscribe to this list. I just want to convey to
you an issue regarding the W3C HTML Validator:
It may be called a bug, but I am not sure. When validating the fragment
<img src=/grafik/layout/read_more.gif alt="Read more">
the Validator reports an error: "an attribute value must be quoted if
it contains any character other than letters (A-Za-z), digits,
hyphens, and periods; use quotes if in doubt"
The underscore is an issue here. But the HTML spec
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2 clearly
states that underscores are allowed without placing quotation marks.
Surely, I will place quotation marks around this URI, but I believe
there is a conflict here.
