In XSLT 2.0 you can force these characters to be output as entity references
by using character maps.
But if your XML contains attributes or namespaces, the serialized XML may
still contain quotes and apostrophes, so I don't see how this helps you. You
should serialize the XML normally, and then apply Java (etc) escaping to any
characters that Java regards as special.

Subject: [xsl] preserving ' and "
hihi all,
how can i preserve the ' and " entities?
of the five basic entities (< > & ' "),
why does ' and " get resolved to ' and "
respectively even when the other ones are not resolved (i.e.
when i set the XML output encoding to "us-ascii").
my use case is i may need to wrap the entire XML by quotes or
apostrophes as a string, so any 'inner' quotes and
apostrophes need to be encoded/escaped.
thanks in advance!
