` can be used in place of single or double quotes around attribute values in IE.

  My understanding (and I tested to confirm) is that IE only treats ` as an attribute delimiter when it's assigned to an element's innerHTML value dynamically. So this is important when working with client-side code, but not so much when generating HTML on the server. Am I wrong?

    I just tried the following HTML: <input type="text" value=`asdf` /> In IE, the input box contained the string asdf. In other browsers, it contained the string `asdf`

      You're right. I was mistakenly testing only a limited case (described at http://html5sec.org/#59 http://html5sec.org/#59). Thanks!
