Description
I work with signed XML files and I'm trying to read an XML file with REXML and extract a Node which I then verify against a signature. My problem is, that REXML changes the double quotes to single quotes in the XML. Everything else (such as spaces, etc) is properly kept. Unfortunately, I can not say if an XML comes with single, double, or even mixed quotes. Is there a way to get an unchanged XML from a Node/Element?

Research direction
Start by examining REXML's Node/Element serialization and parsing behavior; the issue does not name specific source files or tests. Compare serialized output with the original signed XML and determine whether preserving quote style is an expected parser capability; completion criteria are not defined in the issue.
