Why would they be rejected? \ isn't a special character to xpath or xml
so \" would just be the two characters. Adding a quote character such as
\ just makes it harder to query attributes that have \ in their values
as you have to double quote the \. This seems far mor common than
wanting to make a literal string that has both " and ' in it.
