Is there a way I can still use attributes yet escape these unsavory characters? What's the most efficient way of solving this?

You need to escape the ampersand as &amp;, the double quote as &quot;, the less-than as &lt; and the greater-than as &gt;.
Use an API that does the escaping for you, for instance with the .NET framework there is XmlWriter.



Thanks. I'm using Apache Cocoon.
