FWIW, a *lot* of unit tests on *my* generated html code would break, 
and I imagine a *lot* of other people's code would break too. So 
changing the defaults is not a good idea.
But if you want, import this on sitecustomize.py and pretend it said 
quote=True:

import cgi
cgi.escape.func_defaults = (True,)
del cgi
