Well spotted!  Now fixed, thanks.

It's something to be aware of I guess when you are pretty printing XML
- the transform won't know which type of quotes were used in the
input...unless, possibly using a combination of the input as parsed
XML and unparsed-text.

I have been meaning to update Oliver Becker's xml-verbatim.xsl to 2.0,
maybe it would be feasible then... (but probably not too enjoyable to
code!)
