[jdom-interest] Special characters in XML?

[Scott Willy]

Not completely. The the XMLOutputter will only escape chars that mess-up the
XML parsing. It does not encode the chars which are 'invalid' for an XML
document.

For example, if you set an attribute to have text with chars with values <
x020 then there is no encoding and when you reparse the file, your XML parse
will puke-up.
