 In many places, there are calls like '''attribute_escape(__('...'))'''

 For example, in wp-includes/script-loader.php:143

 {{{
 $this->localize( 'post', 'postL10n', array(
         'tagsUsed' =>  __('Tags used on this post:'),
         'add' => attribute_escape(__('Add')),
         'addTag' => attribute_escape(__('Add new tag')),
         'separate' => __('Separate tags with commas'),
         ) );

 }}}

 This breaks translation, if the translated string contains HTML special
 characters,
 e.g. "Hinzufügen".

 Another function should be used, which only converts quotes/double quotes.
 HTML code in attributes is perfectly acceptable per standard and should
 not be prohibited.
