I support making this change, if only to keep the quoting convention consistent with how we quote attributes.  Also, use of double quotes seems to be the norm.  I made a brief informal survey of XML samples from multiple sources including DocBook, MS Excel, RSS feeds, the W3Schools examples, and various XML tutorials -- the only exception to double quotes was a NOAA weather feed.  The XML spec itself shows a preference for double quotes in its examples.
