At least, that's what the spec and nsgmls say. :) Hm... I don't know why I thought otherwise. I checked with the spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.4), and it really doesn't say yes or no to this. But I'm sure you're right, since some attributes contain quoted content, which is why you would switch from one to the other. > BTW--entities are something else entirely. In trying to avoid calling XML entities "tags", I forgot that we were talking about XHTML, where "tags" do indeed exist. Thanks for the correction.
