escaping XML
Hey list.
I am wondering why Abdera isn't escaping all xml entities in text values.
example:
Entry entry = factory.newEntry();
entry.setTitle("something was < & > but this was cool.");
if i then call:
String title = entry.getTitle();
This yields: "something was < & > but this was cool.");
Why isn't the > escaped to > ?

That is true, but most other XML libraries out there escape > as well, so
for consistency it would be good.

Because it's not necessary.
