DOMAttr.xml returns single-quoted attributes
Reported by sean (at msgilligan) | March 9th, 2009 @ 09:12 AM
XML attribute values should be surrounded by double-quotes
The current source in src/dom/attr.js returns attribute values surrounded by single quotes
I created a fork on github with a proposed solution: http://github.com/msgilligan/env...

- Tag set to “attribute, qoute, serialization, xml”
- State changed from “new” to “open”
- Assigned user set to “Thatcher”
so I had some debates about this with some xml folks. The result is I lost and quotes shouldn't matter.
However, I still think this is the defacto behaviour so I'm going to change it.

- State changed from “open” to “invalid”
decided not to change this as neither xml nor html require double quotes

There is a very strong pragmatic argument for this feature. If you want to use env.js to do command line XML processing you want to be able to have the format of your output be as close as possible to the format of your input. Double-quotes should not change to single-quotes. It's a 'round-tripping' thing.
There is a general rule about being generous about what you accept and rigorous in what you output. I think this rule should apply to de facto standards as well.
I have a patch and am willing to resubmit based on current source.
