[sword-devel] XML attribute delimiters in OSIS files?

[Peter von Kaehne]

Is there any actual credible reason for having quotation marks in attributes? I agree that it may be grammatically correct for XML as such, but OSIS's attributes are defined and do not contain quotation marks. And x-marked attributes are largely thrown out during the osis2mod run, no? Or at least ignored - apart from our own - like x-preverse.
