Thanks. That seems a bit arbitrary since these methods are the same for 
strings. It's something you just have to remember, but then forget when 
you come back to the code after a while.

Would it be possible for the object returned by #tagz to have a method, 
say #literally or #unescaped, which returns an object which delegates 
back to the original. On the original Tagz::Document, #<< and #concat 
have the same quoting behavior. On the delegator, they do not quote.

Just a thought...
