The reason XMLSerializer doesn't escape the ' (apostrophe or single quote)
character is that it never needs to be escaped. The only necessary reason to
escape a single quote is if you've quoted an attribute value [1] or entity
value [2] with single quotes. The serializer always uses double quotes (") so
escaping is not necessary.
