Quotes in ref statements
Just FYI:

Quotes about the Name in ref name=Name are not required! --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 21:42, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * From the W3C XML spec

AttValue ::= '"' ([^<&"] | Reference)* '"'            |  "'" ([^<&'] | Reference)* "'"
 * Some XML parsers let you get away with not having " or ', but they should still be there. --Unready (discuss • contribs) 22:35, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * See W3C: HTML5 Syntax - Attributes. Quotes are not required around attribute values. Wikiversity has many issues with pages not supporting HTML 5 standards, but this isn't one of them. Would you be able to help us address some of the other issues? It would probably be most effective if we start with the Templates: namespace, so that all templates are generating valid HTML 5 content before updating individual pages. Special:MostTranscludedPages lists the most-used templates. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:22, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * isn't an HTML tag. It's an XML tag. I've been working through some of the HTML5 problems. --Unready (discuss • contribs) 00:15, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying. In this case it appears that the only spec that matters is at mw:Extension:Cite. It notes that "The quotes are not required (but still correct) if the name contains no embedded spaces." I appreciate your efforts on the HTML5 issues, as they are both extensive and pervasive. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:01, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
