[jQuery] [BUG?] selecting by attribute values - quotes are needed

This W3C page says "Attribute values must be identifiers or strings" so it
seems the quotes should be optional for simple names.
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#attribute-selectors
It looks like the problem is here in .filter():
// Look for something (optionally) enclosed with quotes
.replace( 'Q', " *'?\"?([^'\"]*)'?\"? *" ), "i" );
I think the [^'\"]* part of the regexp is eating up too much of the selector
string.
