nsWebBrowserPersist::FixupXMLStyleSheetLink adjusts an XML document's <?xml-stylesheet?> directive to change the "href" pseudo-parameter to point to the downloaded file; to do this, it has to parse and reconstruct the data string. In the beginning (bug 136718, 2002), it used an ad-hoc parser that didn't unescape entities; that was later extracted into nsParserUtils, and in bug 286132 (2006) the parser was changed to do entity unescaping… but nsWebBrowserPersist wasn't changed to re-escape the result. I have a mochitest-chrome test that reproduces the bug; I don't have an actual fix yet, but it should be relatively simple.
…and now I have a patch that seems to work (try run pending), so I might as well just take the bug.

Attached patch Patch [v1] (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This patch adds a simple implementation of the necessary entity escaping, because there didn't seem to be one anywhere else in the tree that could be used from here. No attempt is made to optimize the common case of literal characters, because I'm assuming that this is not performance-critical. It might be nice if there were a more elegant way to do this. (It would also be possible to fix the violations of today's code style, factor things more and not repeat the nsGkAtoms strings, etc.; but I don't know if this code is worth the effort.)

Thanks for the pointer; trying to figure out the right reviewer(s) for old code like this can be difficult.
