RE: [xsl] Output escaped characters that represent the CR as an attribute

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following stylesheet

<TagwithAttribute att1="XXXX&#x0D;&#x0A;YYYY"
xsl:version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"/>

when run against any source document, produces the output (from Saxon 8.1)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TagwithAttribute att1="XXXX&#xD;&#xA;YYYY"/> 

I can't imagine the leading zeroes are really essential to your application.

The XSLT serializer ought to escape any CR and NL characters in the
attribute value. The 1.0 spec specifically mentions this in the case of NL
characters. It isn't explicit about it in the case of CR, but it is implicit
in the general requirement that the serializer should produce a
representation that "round-trips": i.e. that regenerates the identical
result tree when parsed.
