Attribute value quoting with Saxon8

I am trying to change some web pages for an embbeded device from ancient
HTML to XML which should ease changes of the resulting pages.
The resulting pages will be _not_ valid  HTML because they are parsed by
the HTTP server of the device and then the hopefully valid result will
be returned to the browser.

However I have some trouble to create attributes which values are in
double qoutes if the value itself contains double qoutes.

My environment:
     JDK 1.5.0_04 (on WinXP)
     Saxon-B 8.5

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,
Victor
