Thanks Elliotte, but this does not help me. I need to store a string 
which happens to have special meaning for XML. Either there is a way to 
escape it (i.e. tell XML that this string does not have the special 
meaning it thinks it has) or there isn't. The latter is still OK. I will 
work the problem around outside of XML and archive this issue in the 
"XML sucks" folder :)
