This is syntactically not possible, because "<" cannot occur in
attribute values. The following XML is not well-formed:

  <x a="<"/>

However, it’s possible to output the value of an attribute as string,
and then skip the entity encoding:

  declare option output:method "text";

  let $expected := serialize(<a/>)
  let $xml := <failure message="Expected: { $expected }"/>
  return $xml/@message/string()

Hope this helps,
Christian
