This issue is that different HTML variants as well as different
validators have different requirements:
According to the W3C validator, whitespace is not needed between
attributes when the document is a HTML4 document. But /is/ necessary
when the document is a XHTML document. In Validator.nu (whose source
code is also used for HTML5 validation in the W3C validator), HTML -
regardless of which version - has the same requirements as XHTML:
attributes must be kept separate with whitespace.
