The word "single" here might be confusing.

If you want to encode "I <3 NY" as text/plain, the following are both 
acceptable ways to do this:

<title mode="xml" type="text/plain">I &lt;3 NY</title>

<title mode="escaped" type="text/plain">I &amp;lt;3 NY</title>

I tend to refer to the former as single escaping (as required by XML), 
and the latter as double escaping.
