Comment (by stevenkword):

 Replying to [comment:8 rmccue]:
 > Also: we're outputting into a field that's explicitly noted as "just a
 string" in the specification. The escaping functions are dependent on
 their context in the output, not on the input values, so all we should do
 is XML-escape regardless.
