Hi Ivan
No, the '>' is a valid character inside the attribute value. Only '&',
'<' and the enclosing quote character need to be escaped.
Please allow me to disagree, at least on definition...
Quote from http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/
---
The ampersand character (&) and the left angle bracket (<) /MUST NOT/
appear in their literal form, except when used as markup delimiters,
or within a comment <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-comment>, a
processing instruction <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-pi>, or a
CDATA section <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-cdsection>. If they
are needed elsewhere, they /MUST/ be escaped
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-escape> using either numeric
character references <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-charref> or the
strings " |&| " and " |<| " respectively. The right angle
bracket (>)* *may be represented using the string " |>| ", and
/MUST/, for compatibility <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-compat>,
be escaped using either " |>| " or a character reference when it
appears in the string " |]]>| " in content, when that string is not
marking the end of a CDATA section
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-cdsection>.
How does that differ from what I said? Any & and < must be escaped. The
> character does not
need to be escaped. The exception for " ]]>" does not apply to
attribute values because, I believe,
they are not "content" and this would not apply for the given example in
any case.
