The way to answer this for HTML documents is to look at the HTML 5 spec;
if it's not answered there, file a bug against HTML 5.1. If it is 
answered,
file a bug if browsers don't follow what it says.

For the XML syntax of HTML 5, the XML Rec (1.0 5e I think, but check the 
references in HTL 5) would be an appropriate reference.

Within attribute values themselves, of course, attribute value 
normalization applies when parsing XML.
