Subject: should &apos and &quot be escaped?
Sorry, I'm not an XML expert... Should single and double quotes be escaped in characters()? It was reported as a bug in an application that uses XML::Writer, but I can't find a definitive source that says it cannot be in the XML. XML::Writer is probably correct, but if you have a reference I'd appreciate it. Robert

They don't need to be: <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#syntax>. The only characters that need to be escaped in character data are ampersands, opening angled brackets and the sequence ']]>'. Escaping them is perfectly valid but unnecessary - XML::Writer leaves them as-is to make documents clearer and smaller.
