ah, good catch.
You can't have a single string literal in xpath that contains both a "
and a ' but you can do
match="xxx[.=concat('"',"'")]"
which, after XML entity expansion gives a value of
xxx[.=concat('"',"'")]
for the match expression which tests the value of the element against the
value of the concat function, which is the string "'
I have no idea if that causes XSL implementations to repeatedly
concatenate the strings.
