If you need both single and double quote in a string literal then you 
have two choices, either implement variables or split the string into 
sections where you use single and double quotes e.g.
   concat("Hello 'Word', Hello ", '"Word"')

I think http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=MVPXML 
provides variable resolution.
