XML エスケープとアンエスケープ

// XML defines exactly five named entities. A single regex pass avoids the
// classic bug of replacing & after < and turning &lt; into &amp;lt;.

// Attribute value: escape the delimiter you are using, plus tab, newline and
// carriage return. Attribute-value normalisation turns a literal one of those
// into a plain space, so a reference is the only way to keep it.

// undefined in XML, so leaving it alone is more honest than decoding it.
