Your code uses a StringWriter. Problems arise with something like this:

Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream(), 
"ISO-8859-1");

or even just, depending on platform:

Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream());

The problem is I have no good way to tell which characters do and do
not need to be escaped given the Writer. A StringWriter can write
anything, as can a CharArrayWriter, but most other writers can't.
