Right.
So why not just leave them broken?
It's a worse user experience and it's a shorter path to interop to
change IE.

User experience for invalid content is one aspect; sane parsing rules
are another one. Not requiring the parameter name will make it harder to
introduce new parameters in the future.
If you want a new parameter *in place of* URL=, you're better off using a
different http-equiv value. If you want a new parameter in addition to
URL=, that would still be possible if URL= is first and it uses quotes.
That said, I doubt new parameters will be introduced here, and the parsing
is already not sane.
