Here's something I've been meaning to find out: does it matter 
whether I use single or double quotes?

I know the specs say either, but everyone (?) uses double quotes, and 
when I'm echo'ing html tags from PHP, it's a darn sight easier to use 
single quotes than escaped double ones:

a) echo "<img src='blob.jpg'>"; // better?
b) echo "<img src=\"blob.jpg\">"; // worse?

plus my html editor is a lot happier with a) than b)

Your thoughts?

John.
