I believe it is the right choice to always quote strings, there should be various quoting formats as no single one is perfect (normal strings with reasonable escapes,raw string, multiline-with-indentation, multiline raw strings...) and you should be able to use unquoted keys (TOML has a good balance on this problem), but unquoted strings as a default are unnecessary and problematic.
