Status: Did Not Understand Request
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: Does it have to be consistent? It&apos;s all valid, no? I guess I could quote more of them, or try to come up with some pattern for why things are quoted and why they&apos;re not, or something, but...</thetext>

    <thetext>Even though it&apos;s valid, I think that quoting inconsistently sets a bad example for authors.

The spec can quote attribute values all the time, or only when required, but the pattern should make sense to someone reading it.</thetext>

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The examples in the spec intentionally use a wide variety of styles to encourage authors to not consider one style more canonical than another. There&apos;s really nothing wrong with this example, other than some people might find it better to be more consistent — but other authors might not, and there really is no reason to prefer one over the other.</thetext>
