📢 Here is your decennial reminder that the feature allowed *name* omission in the attribute specification list if the value was declared as a name token list.

Attribute value omission (bring yer own scarequotes and scarfolks) was never a thing (bring yer own uppercase and exclamation markups). This has been mansplained every other day on Usenet between roughly 1440 and 2014.

I appear to have been reading a present day blog post.

I am showing my age now, but I think we even had classes at uni on using SGML and also classes about different hypertext models... then within a short time SGML was obsolete... We were also using a version of Java <1.
