Personally I don't think this is possible with regexs, but I'd love to be corrected. It would need to be able to look for an even number of quotes followed by a greater than sign.
This would also allow the valid statement <cfset test="part 2" & "> part 1"> to be distinguished from the invalid statement <cfset test="invalid " ">.
