Holger writes: I'm thinking of values for attributes like HREF, SRC and so on. With the present declaration, it's valid to have <A HREF=file.html> instead of <A HREF="file.html">, but the quotation marks can't be left out in the (frequent) case that there's a directory change involved: <A HREF="subdir/index.html"> has to remain that way. No big deal, but it's quite easy to forget the closing quotation mark, especially for longer paths. I don't think changing the structure of the language is a good way to solve this. Far better is to use a proper editor that puts in the quotes all the time. XML requires quotes anyway. ///Peter
