    I think it's bad tone. Maybe not all browsers will support it.
    In the future I will write as usual

    <header id='top'>

    maybe it was to keep quotation marks from having to be modified for use in other coding languages
    <div class="myclass">
    output += "<div class=\"myclass\">";
    output += '<div class="myclass">';
    etc.

    I think it was always valid, the problems start with class="one two three". I guess it's just better practice to have double quotes for code readability. I have to add quotes to class and style, so it's easier to read , especially for code highlighters?:)
