def flattenWithAttributeEscaping(root):
    """
    Decorate the generator returned by L{_flattenElement} so that its output is
    properly quoted for inclusion within an XML attribute value.

    If a L{Tag <twisted.web.template.Tag>} C{x} is flattened within the context
    of the contents of another L{Tag <twisted.web.template.Tag>} C{y}, the
    metacharacters (C{<>&"}) delimiting C{x} should be passed through
    unchanged, but the textual content of C{x} should still be quoted, as
    usual.  For example: C{<y><x>&amp;</x></y>}.  That is the default behavior
    of L{_flattenElement} when L{escapeForContent} is passed as the
    C{dataEscaper}.

    However, when a L{Tag <twisted.web.template.Tag>} C{x} is flattened within
    the context of an I{attribute} of another L{Tag <twisted.web.template.Tag>}
    C{y}, then the metacharacters delimiting C{x} should be quoted so that it
    can be parsed from the attribute's value.  In the DOM itself, this is not a
    valid thing to do, but given that renderers and slots may be freely moved
    around in a L{twisted.web.template} template, it is a condition which may
    arise in a document and must be handled in a way which produces valid
    output.  So, for example, you should be able to get C{<y attr="&lt;x /&gt;"
    />}.  This should also be true for other XML/HTML meta-constructs such as
    comments and CDATA, so if you were to serialize a L{comment
    <twisted.web.template.Comment>} in an attribute you should get C{<y
    attr="&lt;-- comment --&gt;" />}.  Therefore in order to capture these
    meta-characters, the attribute generator from L{_flattenElement} context is
    wrapped with an L{flattenWithAttributeEscaping}.

    Because I{all} characters serialized in the context of an attribute are
    quoted before they are yielded by the generator returned by
    L{flattenWithAttributeEscaping}, on the "outside" of the L{_flattenElement}
    call, the L{_flattenElement} generator therefore no longer needs to quote
    text that appears directly within the attribute itself.

    The final case, and hopefully the much more common one as compared to
    serializing L{Tag <twisted.web.template.Tag>} and arbitrary L{IRenderable}
    objects within an attribute, is to serialize a simple string, and those
    should be passed through for L{flattenWithAttributeEscaping} to quote
    without applying a second, redundant level of quoting.
