First it's the wrong list to post about it. See
http://xmlsoft.org/bugs.html
Second XInclude applies only to XML (well it's theorically
defined in terms of the XML Infoset) and the generated resource
after XInclude is an XML file, and from an XML point of view
" and '"' are completely equivalent in PCDATA.
Now the special rule about "style" serialization of HTML
may make them different, but it's a completely different context
XML is not HTML, and once processed by an XML parser you cannot make
the difference ! Libxml will handle quote serialization appropriately
within <style> when saving an HTML resource but no such rule exists
at the XML level.
