Simon,

It looks like your html attributes are being quoted twice.  I believe  
the problem is that you are incorrectly using single quotes for  
attributes on your blog.  Most browsers allow that, but it's not  
right.  So, the Planet code is trying to clean up your code by  
inserting the missing double-quotes.

The best solution is that you should start using double-quotes in  
your posts.  The second-best solution is that the HTML tidying code  
should know to convert single quotes to double quotes in HTML  
attributes.
