Hi Mike,
I agree - let's not introduce quoting/escaping issues.
All lowercase keywords (what RFC 5013 calls the 'Elment Name'
in section 6) followed by a single literal equal sign '=', followed
by zero or more UTF-8 characters (which can be multi-octet).
Allow for the zero characters for the explict empty string value
being passed through from another document metadata interface.
Cheers,
- Ira
