Well, attributes must always be quoted based on the XML spec, right. Otherwise 
TAL could produce invalid XML. What does the spec actually say about this?

Well, if the XML specification allows for your output, we could consider it 
not working this way a bug. However, it would make the code much more 
complicated, I think (unless we support structure as well in this case).
