In attribute values (and in regular content, unless in a CDATA section), & and < must *always* be escaped. Although > has its own magic predefined entity for symmetry reasons, it's not required to be escaped. You don't have to escape a single quote if you have used double quotes around the attribute value, and vice versa.
