I was wondering why the apostrophe is not automatically escaped as other characters?
Because it's not needed? See https://wiki.python.org/moin/EscapingXml for a similar discussion.
For example:
< is transformed to *<*
and
is transformed to *>* but ' is not transformed to *'*
Python : sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=6, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
