Why do you need the & q u o t ; entity?  Your output is perfectly legal
HTML as it stands.  Now, if you asked for the attribute value to become
the value of an attribute in your output, the serializer __would__
escape it with entities - if, for example, you added this to your
template -

<x att='{@attr}'/>

The result is 

<x att="Spring Wound &quot;Bypass&quot; Timers">

No standard serilaizer is likely to give you entities when it is not
necessary to do escaping.
