 Peter, it seems that what we need to escape in attributes is a

 too?

I thought of this, but of course it would require changing all the call
points to use the additional attribute. No problem though.

 Also, is it safe to trim that list of extras to just CR, LF, and Tab
 (I really don't wanna see the most common whitespace
 character--Space--escaped if I don't have too)?

- - From reading the spec, yes, it appears that is OK (assuming of course
 that *all* attributes are always CDATA according to the DTD (or lack
 thereof)).

 Finally, you agree that we should *stop* escaping ' and in CDATA
 (that those belong in the only for attributes group), yes? I
 believe we only do that because our xml-escaper is used for atts and
 CDATA, and we knew we needed those escaped in atts.

Yes.

As I said in the issue, would you mind if I wrote this patch, if you
haven't already started (with the addition of numeric character refs in
xml_unescape)?
