Definitely a good idea to quote attribute values.

 - If an attribute value must have a space in it, it MUST be quoted.  So you 
can't have a rule "don't quote attribute values" and stick to it 
consistently.
 - XHTML (HTML formatted in such a way that it can validate as XML) must have 
attributes quoted.
