Timothy,
the original detested example was this:
<!-- self serialization of image elements with tag for image done in CDATA,
but delegate attributes serialization -->
<xsl:template match="image">
<![CDATA[ <image]>><xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/> <![CDATA[ >]>>
</xsl:template>
<!-- handle src attribute of an image element -->
<xsl:template match="image/@src>
<![CDATA[ src=\"]>><value-of select="."><![CDATA[\"]>>
</xsl:template>
Note in the template rule for the src attribute, the leading CDATA has
src=\"
and the losing CDATA has \"
which is the injected and escaped (backslash before each one) double
quotes.

RE: [Announce] Escaping double
quotation marks in XSL
In the detested example

I didn't see any attempt to inject double quotes (I'll even admit to not
reading the subject line!).
But for inserting arbitrary characters (even metacharacters) without
escaping, maybe the disable-output-escaping attribute of <xsl:value-of> and
<xsl:text> would be useful. In my application I have an XSL-generated HTML
page with hyperlinks with GET parameters, and I use <xsl:value-of
disable-output-escaping='yes'> to prevent the & characters in my GET URLs
from being converted to &. Since = -> " is a similar encoding to
& -> &, wouldn't this help?
I apologize if I am missing the point...

Timothy,
well, .... yes, .... but I think that trying to inject double quotes into
the attribute value (with modifications to you suggestion) in this way
will only get them escaped as " which is not what the user wanted.
