Chris,

You would be correct for HTML 4, but XHTML requires that an attribute
have a value, and that value must be enclosed in quotes. The page
template is simply generating valid XHTML.

The same goes for the disabled="disabled" and readonly="readonly"
attributes of a textarea element, for example.

Cheers,

Michael Bernstein.
