It takes 1-2 minutes to produce a solution using FXSL. This transformation:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:testmap="testmap"
exclude-result-prefixes="xsl testmap"
>
   <xsl:import href="str-dvc-map.xsl"/>

   <testmap:testmap/>

   <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

   <xsl:template match="/">
     <xsl:variable name="vTestMap" select="document('')/*/testmap:*[1]"/>
     <xsl:call-template name="str-map">
       <xsl:with-param name="pFun" select="$vTestMap"/>
       <xsl:with-param name="pStr" select="string(/*)"/>
     </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template name="escapeQuoteNL" match="testmap:*">
      <xsl:param name="arg1"/>

      <xsl:if test="$arg1='&quot;'">
        <xsl:value-of select="'\'"/>
      </xsl:if>
      <xsl:value-of select="$arg1"/>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

when applied on this xml document:

<description-list>
	<paragraph>
The term "project plan" is used throughout the generic and specific
practices in this process area to refer to the overall plan for
controlling the project.
	</paragraph>
</description-list>

produces the wanted result:

The term \"project plan\" is used throughout the generic and specific
practices in this process area to refer to the overall plan for
controlling the project.
