In other words, attributes should be reserved for lists of tokens, numbers, simple datatypes, etc.

One nice consequence of this rule is that the need for entity references (most frequently character entity references) in attribute values is effectively be removed. (Yes, I've used entity references in attributes for other things, but not often and never without other possible solutions.)

What about a list of tokens that contain chars such as café ? Surely we can't rule those out just because English doesn't use them?
