They're right you know.. technically you're meant to quote everything, put everything in lower case, and close all tags.

so this is incorrect:

<IMG SRC=http://www.mydongs.com/dong1.jpg>

this is correct:

<img src="http://www.mydongs.com/dong1.jpg" width="300" height="400" alt="cock"></img>

just because it works doesn't mean it is correct :P

imo the browser supported shortcuts such as that are more correct than the full version, due to the fact that your resulting html file will be a smaller file size and therefore more efficient in terms of storage and load times.

If it works, what's the problem?

i also fail to see why you need background colours on every attribute in a CSS document.

Sloppy syntax doesn't work in XHTML :P (A strict clean version of HTML) AFAIK there will be no HTML 5, only XHTML.
XHTML is aimed to replace HTML, and skipping out attributes etc... will fsck it up.
Many browsers in the future will not be able to read HTML - only XHTML... why? To make them lighter, and take up less memory, so the browser can be used in systems other than computers that have a big chunk of RAM to think about your sloppy code.
So if you're getting your HTML correct now, you won't have to recode your site for all the japenese people surfing the web on their telephones.

Its a test against a standard ... hence it is going to be pedantic ... otherwise it wouldn't be much of a test !
