The HTML5 spec at http://whatwg.org/html#unquoted also says:

"[...] must not contain any literal space characters, any U+0022
QUOTATION MARK characters ("), U+0027 APOSTROPHE characters ('),
U+003D EQUALS SIGN characters (=), U+003C LESS-THAN SIGN characters
(<), U+003E GREATER-THAN SIGN characters (>), or U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT
characters (`), and must not be the empty string."
