In WebFacing projects the input field .value is treated as initial value, and is not quoted. This is specified in config\conversion.rules:
<WebSetting> <ValueMigration option="INITIALVALUE"></ValueMigration> <INITIALVALUETransform type="unquoted"></INITIALVALUETransform> </WebSetting>
Tweaking these settings and reconverting will lead to different results.
