Doesn't that hold true for the quote (") as well? I seem to recall
", ', and > characters being allowed in the content of elements and
attributes with the exception that you cannot have a 'raw' quote (")
inside an attribute delimited by quote (") characters and similarly,
you cannot have a 'raw' apostrophe (') inside an attribute that is
delimited by apostrophe (') characters.
If that's true, shouldn't then the serializer be consistent and
output the " entity as the raw character (")?
Just curious,

See the XML spec. The > character does not have to be escaped in most
circumstances, though it can be and often is for readability. Similarly, '
only has to be escaped in situations where it would cause parsing
problems, specifically when it's inside an attribute which itself was
quoted with ' characters.
