Exactly why having one way of writing should be encouraged.
The parsing algorithm consuming has to accept different kind of  
syntax. That's cool.
The authoring requirements can be stricter to lead for one way of  
writing. That's cool.

The fact for example to say you should write
	<p class="boo">…</p>
	or <p class='boo'>…</p>
does not change anything to the parsing algorithm, doesn't change  
anything to the implementation of browsers.
