  Hum, first time I get complaints about this. Whining on xsl-list ain't
the best way to get libxml2/libxslt fixes ... 
  Anyway it's easy enough it's fixed in CVS and will be in the next release:

paphio:~/XML -> cat /tmp/tst.xml
<doc attr="'bar'" attr2='"foo"'> a ' and a " . </doc>

  old behaviour

paphio:~/XML -> /usr/bin/xmllint /tmp/tst.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc attr="'bar'" attr2="&quot;foo&quot;"> a ' and a &quot; . </doc>

  new behaviour where &quot; is not generated except for attributes
content

paphio:~/XML -> ./xmllint /tmp/tst.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc attr="'bar'" attr2="&quot;foo&quot;"> a ' and a " . </doc>
paphio:~/XML ->
