--- Comment #3 from PleaseStand <[email protected]> ---
The XPath flaw is that there is no way to escape a string that contains both an
apostrophe and a double quote. However, it is possible to work around the flaw
using the concat function (to concatenate single- and double- quoted strings
together).

The flaw has been corrected in XPath 2.0.

It doesn't seem clear that the confusingly named "xmldoublequote" feature (I
thought it meant XML attribute values should never be single quoted) was ever
necessary.
