I agree with what you're saying, but I'm not sure if it makes sense to put this restriction on the HTML level. After all, the following is not non-conforming: <object data="foo"> <param name="smörgåsbord" value=""> </object> Should that be made non-conforming too, for the same reasons?
I don't think so.
What if there is plugin content that uses non-ASCII characters as parameters (and you didn't author it), should it be disallowed to author HTML content aimed at that plugin content?
You just won't be able to use it with <embed> and be forced to use <object>. Given that <embed> is deprecated, that's not a big deal. -- Thomas Broyer
