I'm a bit surprised
that you have a three-terminal voltage regulator data***
that DOESN'T mention using the capacitors!

The data *** link I provided mentions the capacitors in a note under the specifications table. For instance, the table of specs on page 5 is followed by a note that says, "All characteristics are measured with a 0.33-µF capacitor across the input and a 0.1-µF capacitor across the output." It doesn't say they are required for stability, but I would take it as a minimum recommendation.
