That was a bug and should be fixed now.

= is only reserved in the attribute. Pretty much anything is valid in 
the value. The regexp is basically ([A-Za-z0-9_]+)=(.+)

I'd planned to add it after every \par to make the plaintext layout 
essentially equivalent to the RTF layout.

I'm going to reduce some of the multiple \par's (probably not allow more 
than 2 at a time). At the moment, I've removed all \qc from the .confs 
since I didn't think they were being used very consistently or very 
widely. Thus, there was no need for \pard, so they've all been changed 
to \par. I still recommend supporting both tags, since I don't have a 
problem with \qc per se, I just don't think the existing use was 
especially good.
