jQuery 1.3 doesn't accept spaces in attributes brackets selectors

1.2.6 accepts spaces anywhere within the bracket selectors:

$('a[ name ]') or $('a[name = "foo"]') or $('a[ name*="foo" ]')

1.3 does not allow any spaces at all, erroring out with "Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [ name ]". I suspect many scripts will break.

Here's a test page (combined with another issue): http://jquery.glyphix.com/1.3/
