Tabular (U+0009) character in element attribute not serialized as numerical entity by default XML serializer

           Summary: Tabular (U+0009) character in element attribute not
                    serialized as numerical entity by default XML serializer
           Product: XalanC
           Version: 1.6
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: XalanC
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: june@ca.ibm.com


Bug opened against Xalan-C to fix similar problem reported against Xalan-J (see 
bugzilla #22623).  The problem reported in 22623 can also be seen with Xalan-
C.  To be consistent, we need to fix Xalan-C to behave the same way as Xalan-J 
when handling the tab character in an element attribute (ie. leave the tab 
character as a numerical entity &#9; rather than normalize it to a space).

This change will cause attribset22 to fail but Xalan-J development folks are 
planning to update the gold file to reflect the new behaviour - in fact, they 
may have done so already.
