ah, good catch.

You can't have a single string literal in xpath that contains both a "
and a ' but you can do

match="xxx[.=concat('&quot;',&quot;'&quot;)]"

which, after XML entity expansion gives a value of

xxx[.=concat('"',"'")]

for the match expression which tests the value of the element against the
value of the concat function, which is the string "'

I have no idea if that causes XSL implementations to repeatedly
concatenate the strings.
