(Thanks to Simon Pieters for noticing this.) Currently, unquoted attributes may start with a =: http://parsetree.validator.nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fhsivonen.iki.fi%2Ftest %2Feq-eq-attr.html This means that the notion of conformance fails to catch what is most likely an error: http://html5.validator.nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fhsivonen.iki.fi%2Ftest% 2Feq-eq-attr.html To make the notion of conformance more useful for authors (that is, to make conformance checking catch unintentional stuff), I suggest making starting an unquoted attribute value with a = a parse error. This wouldn't limit the expressiveness of the language as authors always have the option to quote attribute values. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
