AFAIK, no; but I don't need to know.  That rule indicates circumstances
in which quotes are unnecessary.  In circumstances not matching the
rule, they are sometimes needed, and sometimes not; but I don't need to
know which need it if I use it for all other cases.  I always use quotes
in "on..." attributes - AIUI they are always required but not always
necessary (as I found when testing/validating a page in which I had
omitted one set of such quotes without preventing correct action).

By the way, for those who had not known, Opera has "Validate" on the
context menu, and uses W3 for that.  An entry there for TIDY would be
nice, since that's quicker and less verbose.
