On a side note, L::C::Format can just return the symbol,, but it's unclear what encoding it is actually in. That is why I was shooting for the � encoding method instead.
Have you tried that option of getting just the character? XSP happens in Perl land (it's just a way of generating Perl code after all) and it's therefore highly likely that it'll play well with other modules. Especially if you're running 5.8.
As a rule of thumb there are only two situations when escaping should be used: when authoring a document, and when writing a serializer. In any other situation you're working with a data model instead of an actual representation, and therefore escaping should never be necessary. If it is something smells bad in the system, and you know you'll hit trouble at some point.
