It seems to me (from Philip's data) that making = always silently allowed in unquoted attribute values is a bad idea as it would conceal the kind of mistakes that would be helpful to reveal to the author (attributes running together mostly with the previous one taking loose enough strings for the result not to violate datatype constraints). If we wanted to allow = in unquoted URIs, we should make the tokenizer check if the current attribute is src or href. Do we really want to go there? If we want to reduce author hoop jumping by making the conformance definition closer to practice, I suggest we start by allowing <img border=0> and <script language=javascript>. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
