I'd agree, there's probably no "perfect" solution. I just wanted to point out (what, surely, everyone already knows) that relying on JavaScript can be "dangerous."
Personally, for double-quotes, I've always had great success by replacing all double-quotes with " and then reversing the replacement on the backend. I don't know that I've had to do the same for HTML content, but I would imagine that simply replacing angle brackets (or maybe even just the left angle bracket) with the appropriate entities would be sufficient.
