Within the larger context, I have a string like this:

<title>A title for <placeholder text> the product</title>

that I'm then converting into an xml document node using xdmp:unquote.

That makes xdmp:unquote barf, but if I do a fn:replace, on the specific
characters it works.

As I said, I can whip something up, but I assumed there was an obvious
function for this.

In normal XQuery you don't need to do this. Are you sure you do?

Maybe you just need:

<foo>{ $value }</foo>

The value will be properly escaped on output.

I could do that, but I just figured there'd be a xquery function do to it
for all three special XML characters.  It's easy enough to write one, but I
just assumed that someone else would have needed it.

Steve - Did you try using fn:replace? e.g. fn:replace(fn:replace($title,
"<", "&amp;lt;"), ">", "&amp;gt;")
