If I delimit the string with double quote, then I have to escape every double quote in whatever I serialize. I'm moving strict html from the server to the browser, and therefore the value of every tag attribute is delimited by double quotes. That means that I'd have to escape every double quote, and there are MANY more of them. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
