I've seen that list before, circa 1999. I was in the HTML WG at the time, and we were looking at the suitability of XLink as a generic linking mechanism for XHTML.

HTML Attributes are property of the elements which may have values and these attribute values are always enclosed in quotes. It’s providing to the browser with some additional information about an elements how the elements should appear or behave. HTML elements can contain one or more attributes, attribute names and attribute values are case-insensitive and separated by an equals (=) sign.
