20450	wp_dropdown_categories - inconsistent use of single-quotes causes (javascript) assignment  issues	rcain		"wp_dropdown_categories outputs double-quote characters for all options (value etc) BUT single-quote characters for main select attributes - which is inconsistent.

this causes a problem when assigning output to eg. a javascript string - meaning we must perform a separate 'replace' operation first.

similarly, we already have to do a replace of all newline-characters in output for newline-backslash - in order that its multi-line output can be assigned to a javascript variable.

please could we have double-quote characters used consistently  in output? ideally provision of a javascript friendly output format (ie. backslash-newline) would also be great - though my no means essential.
