 The xmlrpc spec indicates that < and & be encoded as &lt; and &amp; in
 strings.  When an error is returned from an xmlrpc call the IXR class
 doesn't attempt to encode these as it does with regular string values.

 I'm inclined to have IXR make use of htmlspecialchars() for this as it
 does for regular string values.
