 This appears to be a more generalized version of ticket
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63426.

 The following examples could be run on the the 'init' action hook.

 Using the greater-than character within attribute values causes the
 wptexturize function to incorrectly convert all proceeding quotation marks
 to decimal code.

 {{{
 <?php
 $div_string = '<div data-template="Label <% value %>" data-label="{A
 \'message\' string}">Content</div>'
 echo wptexturize( $div_string );
 // Output:
 //    <div data-template="Label <% value %>” data-label=”{A
 ‘message’ string}”>Content</div>
 // Expected output:
 //    <div data-template="Label <% value %>"; data-label="{A
 ‘message’ string}">Content</div>
 }}}

 This attribute quote escaping "resets" when a less-than symbol is
 encountered.

 {{{
 $div_string = '<div data-break="3>2" data-broken="b" data-fixer="<" data-
 working="1">Content</div>';
 echo wptexturize( $div_string );
 // Output:
 //    <div data-break="3>2″ data-broken=”b” data-
 fixer=”<" data-working="1">Content</div>
 }}}
