A lint tool is not a conformance checker. Your proposal here is analogous to removing ASI from ECMAScript, such that a program which relied on it would not be conformant. I recommend that you find an HTML guru of the same stature as Crockford in the JS community, and convince her to write a lint tool which forbids unquoted attribute values. Once you have that, you can (attempt to) popularize that style via evangelism for the lint tool, rather than trying to foist your stylistic preferences -- which, as it happens, I share -- onto the world via spec requirements.
