Hello from two years later!
I don't think the following is quite correct: (?<attrvalue>[^\s"'>]+):

• it doesn't allow for empty attribute values (+ instead of *)
• it doesn't allow for spaces in attribute values
• it doesn't allow for ' when the value's delimiter is " (if my reading of the XML spec is correct, " is the only allowed delimiter anyway)

This regex was not intended to be a complete xml parser at any means. You can potentially extend it to conform to the spec. But honestly I don't think it worth the trouble.
