I just copy/pasted «"» into an aXML document and ran it to see what would happen, and it there was no effect. The document rendered correctly and the browser displayed the characters, so I can't see the problem?

aXML doesn't need an escape character, it doesn't try to distinguish code from data, in aXML code and data are one and the same.

You iterate repeatedly that that is bad, and yet you do not qualify that statement, are you repeating some obsolete mantra you learned at university regarding the classical way of doing things or do you have a real specific reason for that argument in this context/paradigm?

With regard to your other point, in aXML the only difference between <foo bar="moo"></foo> and <foo><bar>moo</bar></foo> Is that bar as an attribute will be available to the plugin in the hash of attributes found in $_[0], whilst as an internal tag it will be found in the tag data string $_[1] and have to be extracted manually by the plugin itself if it uses it. That is why the former is the preferred format for plugins which require certain input values to determine their output.
