So does that mean in XPath 2.0 they can?

Yes. You can escape a single quote (apostrophe) or a double quote by doubling it, depending on the containing quotes. I.e., if your string is contained in single quotes, you can double a single quote to escape it. In a value-of select expression, it looks like this. where the single quote is escaped:

<xsl:value-of select=" ' dquote: " and squote: '' ' " />

This selects the following:

dquote: " and squote: '

In XSLT literal attributes this is -- of course -- not possible due to restrictions of XML:

<xsl:output-character character="1" string=" "" "/>

but here escaping isn't needed at all (but this is not XPath, but XSLT):

<xsl:output-character character="1" string=" " "/>
