Yes, but the sentence I was complaining about isn't talking specifically about attribute values. It says: > Authors wishing to put the "<" character in text should use "<" > (ASCII decimal 60) to avoid possible confusion with the beginning of a > tag (start tag open delimiter). Not requiring "<" to be quoted in text is, IMHO, silly. However I fully admit that all the browsers I tried will happily accept < followed by a space character as not starting a tag. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
