Um, go to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-common-syn and take a look at
item [10].
See also item D.2.1 in the XML FAQ at http://www.ucc.ie/xml/ which states:
"all attribute values must be in quotes (the single-quote character [the
apostrophe] may be used if the value contains a double-quote character,
and vice versa)"
In addition, the answer to Question 12 in the Perl XML FAQ at
http://www.perlxml.com/faq/perl-xml-faq.html states:
"NOTE: You can use single or double quotes for attribute values in the
XML declaration."
(This is true more generally, and does not apply only to the XML
declaration.)
