Well, there's your problem. NEVER try to construct markup as text; it 
simply doesn't work as you would expect it to and may not work at all in 
some situations. If you want a literal element in the output, use a 
literal result element in the stylesheet, and either use an attribute 
value template to construct the value of that attribute, or use 
xsl:attribute to create it. For example:

        <input>
                <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of 
select="$some-var-containing-the-quot"/></xsl:attribute>
        </input>

or
        <input value="{$some-var-containing-the-quot}"></input>

Disable-output-escaping should be used only when producing text output. If 
you think you need it for XML or HTML output, you are almost certainly 
doing something wrong.
