What is the rationale for this, btw? Quotes are superfluous for attributes that don't contain spaces, and nobody wants to type more characters than is necessary, so to my way of thinking compulsory quotes fly in the face of common sense. I won't accept "because it conforms better to SGML" as a rationale, unless accompanied with evidence that SGML is, indeed, ordained by God. Adrian.
