Re: Generating a string containing '

it's well-formed XML but the attribute value is not a valid o:XML  
expression.

have you tried putting the string expression in double quotes and  
escaping the single quote, eg
<o:param name="list" select='"one&apos;,two"'/>

it would probably be better if the grammar supported doubling up of  
single quotes as an escape, but this should solve your immediate  
problem.

otherwise there's always the option of using <o:text> blocks, or even:
<o:variable name="txt">some text with "double" and 'single'  
quotes</o:variable>

hth,
