Everything except <, &, and your delimiter (' or ") are fine. For your reference

You cannot put a tag of any sort in the place you want, because that's inside an attribute value. Attribute values do not contain tags, period. No matter what you put there, by definition, it is not a tag.

You can place any character you like, however. For example, you can insert a newline character via an entity reference. For example:

<product productName="Portable&#x0a; Audio Recorder" productID="ABC" thumbPath="images/a1.jpg">

Update:

You can also place characters into an attribute value that would constitute a tag elsewhere, but you must present the < via an entity reference:

<product productName="Portable&lt;br> Audio Recorder" productID="ABC" thumbPath="images/a1.jpg">

How that attribute value is interpreted by software that processes your XML is an altogether different question. Generally speaking, I would expect software that transforms the XML to take care to escape the text as necessary to preserve its textual interpretation in the destination context, but it's possible that yours does not do that. Consult your documentation.
