You can use Unicode characters in an XML document. You can't use ISO
characters unless they also happen to be Unicode characters. The XMLFormat
function doesn't have anything to do with this, I don't think. You shouldn't
need to use CDATA for that, either. If you manually write an XML document,
and you're not using a Unicode-aware editor, you can use the appropriate
Unicode character entity reference, I think.
