Clarification: ECMAScript escape sequences cannot be used to escape markup 
delimiters *if* the escape sequence *still* contains the markup delimiters.  
In this case, markup escape sequences –

  onclick="&lt;A href=&quot;https://www.myfavoritesite.com&quot;> &lt;/A>"

– or ECMAScript escape sequences – 

  onclick="\x3cA href=\x22https://www.myfavoritesite.com\x22> \x3c/A>"

– could be used to make this Valid *markup*, but the attribute value would 
still not be the required syntactically valid ECMAScript program, as

  <A href="https://www.myfavoritesite.com"> </A>

is _not_ one (`<' is an operator, the operand left-hand side is missing, to 
begin with).
