I've defined the parsing and conformance requirements in a way that
matches IE. As a side-effect, this has made things like "naïve"
actually conforming. I don't know if we want this.
As a front-end developer I'd say "no". This makes it much harder to read
the source code, probably not for UAs, but for the people working with it.
On the one hand, it's
pragmatic (after all, why require the semicolon?), and is equivalent to
not requiring quotes around attribute values. On the other, people don't
want us to make the quotes optional either.
True, I'm one of those people. And, in my opinion, unquoted attribute
values are still easier to read than these entities without a semicolon
at the end. So please make the semicolon a requirement.
