=3D is how '=' is encoded in quoted-printable messages.  3D is the hex 
value of the ascii code for '='.

So what those messages were trying to write about is using the 
name='some value' parameter when creating widgets, but somebody got the 
3D in as part of their quoting of previous message, or copy/paste or 
something.
