  Even in attribute it's perfectly possible to use quote or double-quote
unescaped as long as they are distinct from the separator for that attribute.
And for text in element content, I really don't see any justification to
escape them to entities.
  I really can't see a valid reason for this, this actually reflects 
the opposite of the feedback I got from users, libxml2 used to escape
them, and now tries to minimize the escaping as much as possible when
serializing XML.
