In attribute values (and in regular content, unless in a CDATA section), &
and < must *always* be escaped. Although > has its own magic predefined
entity for symmetry reasons, it's not required to be escaped. You don't
have to escape a single quote if you have used double quotes around the
attribute value, and vice versa.
