When there's a backslash followed by a quote, like:

\"

the backslash needs to be escaped as well, otherwise we'd again end up with an unescaped quote if we only escaped the quote.  So I guess the easiest and safest thing would be to escape all quotes and backslashes with a backslash.  That would however disallow newlines which might be handy for the Description field.
