In certain cases, authors may specify the value of an attribute without
any quotation marks. The attribute value may only contain letters (a-z
and A-Z), digits (0-9), hyphens (ASCII decimal 45), periods (ASCII
decimal 46), underscores (ASCII decimal 95), and colons (ASCII decimal
58). We recommend using quotation marks even when it is possible to
eliminate them.
