XML 1.1 Serialization, char in  attribute value not escaped
-----------------------------------------------------------

         Key: XALANJ-2271
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2271
     Project: XalanJ2
        Type: Bug
    Reporter: Brian Minchau


This issue was found by Henry Zongaro.

If you try the following stylesheet, you'll see that the character x8C, which 
is not permitted in literal form in XML 1.1, is escaped when it appears in an 
element's character content, but it's not escaped when it is part of an 
attribute value.  

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.1"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <out att="&#x8c;">&#x8c;</out>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When the serialized XML produced by this stylesheet is parsed by Xerces 
(depending perhaps on the version of Xerces) it goes into an infinite loop when 
it attempts to parse an attribute that contains an invalid character.
