I think it helps guard against incompetent authors who wouldn't 
understand when they're required to use quotes and when they're not. I 
see HTML pages all of the time where the author's done something like:

<img src=http://example.com/foo/bar/baz/spam/>

Sometimes it even has spaces in it. At least with a proper XML parser, 
they would know where they went wrong right away.
