+be quoted using regular XML entities:

++-----------+------------+
+| Character | Quoted     |
++===========+============+
+| ``"``     | ``"`` |
++-----------+------------+
+| ``<``     | ``&lt;``   |
++-----------+------------+  
+| ``>``     | ``&gt;``   |
++-----------+------------+
+| ``&``     | ``&amp;``  |
++-----------+------------+
+| ``'``     | ``&apos;`` |
