As I understand it, quotemarks are not _required_, per se, but may be included? Should the quotemarks, if included, be on the inside or the outside of the element? (The spec is vague about this and has examples that contradict the above thread.) Basically, so long as I can continue not including quotemarks, and styling the quotes as I want, then I think it is fine to also _allow_ quotemarks.
