When using {attribute_quote: :quote} to generate files with double quoted attributes, not editing anything there:
@doc = REXML::Document.new(xml, {attribute_quote: :quote})
puts @doc.to_s<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

But if I edit a trans-unit:
@doc = REXML::Document.new(xml, {attribute_quote: :quote})
REXML::XPath.first(@doc, '//trans-unit').attributes['id'] = "I'm here"
puts @doc.to_s<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

</xliff>(Note the <trans-unit id="I'm here">). It should be <trans-unit id="I'm here">. The element we edited has its quote incorrectly HTML-escaped, while the one we didn't edit is correctly unescaped.
It looks like editing an element makes it loose its context[:attribute_quote:].
