ASP tags do collide with some html markup.

Boom.
I know. Value should be quoted. 'asp_tags = on' is yet another way to
break php scripts. Some developers don't expect it and make typos in html
attributes.
Not "should be", it is a must. Quoting HTML 4.01: "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)."
So, your example is not HTML, so it doesn't show any collision.
