In other words, it's not really an XSLT question.

A processor could be written to do it (and one might even implement a 
brute-force serializer in XSLT that could do it), but care would have 
to be taken against emitting attribute values containing single quotes....

I take it the recipient of the data knows that by requiring XML with 
only single quotes used as attribute value delimiters, they are 
asking for XML-that-is-not-XML?
