Lol large topic about quotes. Spaces can be a problem when your editor
adds/changes them and you are using a version control system...

That is, "do what I expect you to do", not that there is any particular
universal rule. Different companies have different stanards, sometimes
they agree with my approach, sometimes they don't. Spaces or tabs is only
a problem if you have 2 people doing 2 different things or you like to set
your tabs at a different spacing, doesn't make one right or wrong.

For someone reading XML, the attribute delimiter chosen should be
irrelevant
because it is, syntactically, irrelevant. So use whatever you want and
don't bother imposing a style.
'Use whatever you want' doesn't help maintainability, style guides
exist for a reason... you want code to look the same regardless of
who wrote it in the team.
There might be the odd occasion where taking advantage of the choice
of delimiter is helpful, but in general (my view is) people should
consistently use double quotes.
I also use/want 4 spaces for the indentation, 2 lines between
templates etc, Another example is declaring all the namespaces on the
root element - you could declare them where you like, but the general
rule is on the root element. That way the poor sod (me) maintaining
the code will find them where they expect to find them.
By the way, if anyone has their own rules for laying out their code
I'd like to hear them. (on or off-list is fine)
