Note that in XPath 2.0 you can double up a " in a "-delimited string
literal or a ' in a '-delimited string literal in order to escape it.
So you can do:

  translate(., '"', '''')

to change " into '.

But (I take it, since XSLT 2.0 will still be XML -- I hope! ;-) one will still have the extra wrinkle of worrying about the delimiter used to identify the XPath as an attribute value. So one could have

<xsl:value-of select="translate(., '&quot;', '''')"/>

but not

<xsl:value-of select='translate(., '&quot;', '''')'/>

Heh.
