This is kinda non intuitive. I think we should probably fix it.
Basically when XML is output as text it can be encoded into a valid XML
string or left as is. So tags like <j:set> allow XML encoding to be turned
on or off.
<j:set var="bar" encoding="false">
<foo/>
<j:set>
For some reason the default is to encode as XML text (I can't remember why
this is so). This is probably not a good thing; encoding should probably be
disabled by default. For now you can just specify the default encoding
true/false.
