I suppose that the validator already has a specific rule for HTML 4.01 (or it would report unquoted colons and underscore as an error; does it?) so I don't see the point. If it really is a problem adding an error message for HTML 4.01, you maybe could just add " (and possibly colons and underscores, depending on the HTML version)" to the error message? Anyway, I agree it doesn't really matter. Let's quote everything and there's no problem :) -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
