Yeah, I figured someone would ask that. :) I couldn't find anything
definitive on w3c.org; can someone back me up?
AFAIK, they are required in XML and XHTML. It's a good habit to get into
with regular HTML, also (although, yes, both will work in HTML).

The best form HTML attributes is within double quotes. This stems from
the parent language of all of the mark-up languages, SGML (standard
generalized mark-up language). XML and XHTML both more closely follow
the rules/recommendations of the parent language. HTML validation
engines genrally throw exceptions if attributes are not quoted. It has
always been considered good form.
