It escapes these characters immediately after you have entered them in the Attribute Inspector (so you no longer need to enter them manually as entities).

It also finds and replaces any occurences of these characters in all attributes in a document whenever it is validated so that an end user should never see a validation error related to unescaped copies of these characters in attributes (unless they are saving from Plain Text view).
