UnicodeFileResourceLoader contributed

Will, I could edit UnicodeFileResourceLoader a bit to follow new not-so-heavily-synchronized FileResourceLoader code I contributed few months ago. And then compile it against current subversion codebase. Then I add it to the contributed list if only manage to use Wiki pages. I have never edited

Hi Christoph, Thanks a lot for replying back. As far as the suggestions you gave, i can't use failsafe escaping apporoach as i am not hardcoding the values in the template. As i said earlier, we are having an xml file where in we define element name and its value as element name=myvar
