So was I, but I've read the XML specification, so it's not for lack of interest. Where are double quotes required? What issue are you responding to here? The spec's section on attribute literal syntax (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#IDANUDS ) explicitly says that they can be single- or double-quoted (and therefore can't contain literal double- and single-quote characters respectively) which is the way I've always understood it, but perhaps I'm missing something obvious. That being said, it's my personal preference to use double-quotes in XML wherever possible -- perhaps just because they're less likely to appear in attribute values, so fewer entity references are required -- and for that reason (+ laziness) I'd be pleased to see Haml's default changed to double-quotes. I think it's just the less surprising option, particularly since I'm sure there are plenty of newbies who don't realise apostrophes are allowed at all.
