And if your parser still gets confused, or all the quotes are turning before your eyes, just use two 
variables like:

   <xsl:variable name="apos">&apos;</xsl:variable>
   <xsl:variable name="quot">&quot;</xsl:variable>

Though, as discussed recently on this list, this creates document tree fragments rather than strings 
in XSLT 1. (Not that you would notice much about that..)
