Since Document.createTextNode() [1] does not require well-formedness checking, 
Xerces is operating according to the spec. If you want to make sure that text 
nodes you create contain only character which match Char [2], then you need to 
do this yourself (perhaps using one of the approaches that Joe mentioned), or 
alternatively you could use normalizeDocument [3] from DOM Level 3 with 
the "well-formed" parameter [4] set to true on the DOMConfiguration. It's hoped 
that Xerces will support this feature soon.
