Re: [WSG] " or " in copy?

[David R]

But officially when " isn't being used to delimit attribute values it
must be written in entity form: "

Reference?
My bad...
XHTML1.1 derives from XHTML1.0 Strict which derives from HTML4.01 Strict
...Which mentions this about quote entities:
-------------------------------
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#h-5.3.2
-------------------------------
Four character entity references deserve special mention since they are 
frequently used to escape special characters:

    * "&lt;" represents the < sign.
    * "&gt;" represents the > sign.
    * "&amp;" represents the & sign.
    * "&quot; represents the " mark.
...
Some authors use the character entity reference "&quot;" to encode 
instances of the double quote mark (") since that character may be used 
to delimit attribute values.

-------------------------------
So its official... its not required in HTML4.01, but sort-of 'recommended'.
I couldn't find anything about it in XHTML1.1, but imho, I wouldn't risk it.
