That's a lot of thrash. I don't remember, but was there a problem you were trying to solve?

I want control characters in XML because there is nothing preventing people from submitting control characters in their HTTP and when they do that they are likely to not get what they wanted and so it can be helpful to see what they actually submitted instead of the limited subset that XML deigns to support.

The XML version of nodes (etc.) is supposed to give one the raw data. Having it throw away any of the raw data without a really good reason just leads to it not being trustworthy and other means having to be invented and used and forgetting to use them and yuck.
