To all of my knowledge, the XPath 1.0 syntax has no escaping
mechanism for literal delimiters at all.
Do I miss something? If no, is this problem still valid for XPath 2.0?
XPath 2.0 allows the delimiter of a string literal to be doubled within the
literal:
xsl:if test='($x = "He said, ""I don't""")'>...
In XSLT 1.0 my usual approach is to use variables
<xsl:variable name="quot">"</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="apos">'</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="$x = concat('He said, ', $quot, 'I don', $apos, 't',
$quot)">...
