Liam, I think you know this would be evil, however brilliant.

Different semantics for different quote marks? What will be next,
*stars* for emphasis?

Cheers, Wendell

Off-topic really, but (like Simon St.Laurent) i still kinda wish we
could distinguish between single and double quotes around attribute
values, and then say that $ and { are not special in single-quoted
attributes. Or have a succinct mechanism to stop specific AVTs
everywhere.

You can also write a function, e.g. class, and do,
   pattern="{ class('lowercase') }"
or whatever, to make this stuff a bit more readable.
