Hi!
I'm happy to see that this list is alive! I've been on it for 5 days now
and haven't seen a thing. Now I know I really made it onto the list.
It works both way and it is to be considered as equal unless the value
contains anything that might be considered a delimiter between attributes,
then quotation marks is required. This rule, as I understand it, is good
for all definitions of attribute-values in tags.
Example:
<A NAME=word>A word</A>
<A NAME="word">A word</A>
is equivalent.
But
<A NAME=first word>The first word</A>
<A NAME="first word">The first word</A>
is not equivalent. The first case will be interpreted as if NAME is
equal to first and that word is an implied attribute that is set.
Not being an SGML-expert I'd better put the asbestos-suit where I can
reach it (: but I hope my answer is of use anyway...
