Actually I believe (W3C I18 WG should have the details) that the (current) intention is that URI shouldn't have to be escaped in XML (or HTML) documents and that the uri-quoting should be performed by whatever agent is lifting the uri out of a document and passing it to the uri handler. the charmod document (still at WD stage) says that all new w3c specs MUST follow this scheme: http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#sec-URIs This would mean that when generating XML (or taking a slighlty revisionist view of history, HTML) one shouldn't quote the href attributes at all.
