I always use quotation marks, I think it's part of the recommendation since 
my pages usually validate with them and the validator's tag also has them.

But, they need to be escaped in some programming languages or they will 
interfere with the language. A PHP programmer I know uses single quotes 
around attributes so he doesn't have to escape the html quotes.
