RE: [Announce] Escaping double quotation marks in XSL

Maybe you should explore something like this:
 
    <xsl:element name='image'>
        <xsl:for-each select='@*'>
            <xsl:attribute name='qname(.)'><xsl:value-of select='.'
/></xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:element>
 
This way, the transformer is at least aware of the tag you are trying to
insert into the output.

I *REALLY* detest that idiom. I've seen many people hurt themselves by
trying to hand-generate XML; I consider it a very bad practice. Unless
you're forced to do it in order to work with a downstream tool which has
not been implemented correctly, I would recommend finding another
solution. Any other solution.
