Re: [Zope] too strict html validation in page templates (zpt)

I find that html validation in page templates is over-strict (at least from Zope 2.4.3 on).

The following bit validates ok at http://validator.w3.org but fails as input to a page template ("EOF in middle of construct"). The problem is that the attributes on the span tag are not separated by whitespace. It works fine as a dtml method, though.

<span id="someid"title="description">

The HTML 4.01 specs say: ------------------ 3.2.2 Attributes ... Any number of (legal) attribute value pairs, separated by spaces, may appear in an element's start tag. ... ------------------- So strictly-speaking, it looks like Zope is right, and the validator and Dreamweaver are wrong and should be fixed.
