  The XML spec defines what is a well-formed XML instance, and yes it
allows " and ' in element content without restrictions. It's shorter to
look up there than make N email exchange over publicly and widely availab=
le
information.
   http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-content
   http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-CharData
  And anyway it's not a mailing-list post which will be the authoritative
answer to such questions.
