Incorrect external quote in charset meta about diveintohtml5 HOT 6 CLOSED

It is "correct"; the "quote" you mentioned is quoted from a message explaining why the charset attribute had already been understood by pre-HTML5 browsers.

Yeah, I know: and in that message you linked it says "people tend to leave things unquoted, like" and then it gives an example, unquoted. That because it is presenting an example of "bad" syntax.

Quoting the entire block, but adding the quotes, doesn't make sense: the original message is giving an example of unquoted syntax, with an unquoted example, whereas here we are giving an example of unquoted syntax, but with an example that is quoted.

I hope to have explained myself well, if not please let me know.

I'll add 2 screenshots to better explain what I mean.

Oops. My bad. Sorry~
(Perhaps it went wrong when the source got canonicalized to wrap all attribute values in quotes.)

No problem, thanks ;-) !

@njy, good catch! @myakura, excellent deduction, and you are entirely correct. I will correct this at the first available opportunity.

Corrected.
