I can see why for static ones, there's not much expanding the entity when you 
can just pass it back out again but for dynamic ones it seems a little odd 
(or maybe I've misunderstood).

Is it the case that if

val = """

then <t tal:attributes="attr val"> will produce <tag att="&quot;"> instead of 
<tag attr="&amp;quot;">? Or do I have to do something like <tag 
tal:attributes="attr structure val"> for it to kick in?

I can understand the wish to sometimes put entities into attributes but if 
it's enabled by default, without a way to turn off then that's not good there 
are plenty of situations where you definitely want "&something;" to be 
substituted into the document as "&amp;something;",
