No, not really. JDOM reads the text correctly and if you call getText()
you'll see <br> in there because that's the text. But try outputing
that text with XMLOutputter and you'll see the chars escaped correctly
as < and >. We don't preserve the same escape model because
semantically it doesn't matter and SAX doesn't provide the original
escapes.
