Digester is giving you back exactly what the XML parser is reading.  Using "\n"
is not the correct way to encode a newline character in XML; instead, you should
be using the "#xA" escape, or a literal newline character.  See the XML
Specification for more information.

In addition, I personally think it's bad form to use newlines in an attribute
value, because it will make the XML document very difficult to read.  Text with
embedded newlines should appear in the body of a nested element instead.
