Need Double quotes instead of Single quotes in output XML version header

In XML output generated by XDODTEXE executable, its observed that header row looks like this:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>

It should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Browsers like IE deceive. Opening the XML in Text editors show single quotes and spaces.

Data Template and XSL template files have proper headers with double quotes.
The output XML file is rejected by a Government Authority as parsing the header line fails.

Its sort of critical for EBS Customers.
Are there any ways to configure this?
