Paul Spencer commented on MYFACES-1396:
---------------------------------------

When I add the following to the outputText test case:
      <h:outputText id="escape" escape="true" value="10 &gt; 5" />
      <h:outputText value=" | " />
      <h:outputText id="notEscape" escape="false" value="10 &gt; 5" />
      <h:outputText value=" | " />
      <h:outputText id="utf8charEscaped" value="äüöß" escape="true" /> 
      <h:outputText value=" | " />
      <h:outputText id="utf8charNotEscaped" value="äüöß" escape="false" /> 
      <h:outputText value=" | " />
      <h:outputText id="utf8char" value="äüöß" /> 
      <h:outputText value=" | " />
      <h:outputText id="utf8charInEscapedFormat" 
value="&#228;&#252;&#246;&#223;" escape="false" /> 

I get the following output running MyFaces 1.1.5-SNAPSHOT
      <span id="escape">10 &amp;gt; 5</span>
       | 
      <span id="notEscape">10 &gt; 5</span>
       | 
      <span id="utf8charEscaped">����</span> 
       | 
      <span id="utf8charNotEscaped">����</span> 
       | 
      <span id="utf8char">����</span> 
       | 
      <span id="utf8charInEscapedFormat">&#228;&#252;&#246;&#223;</span> 

I get the following output running Sun's RI
       <span id="escape">10 &amp;gt; 5</span>
       | 
      <span id="notEscape">10 &gt; 5</span>
       | 
     <span id="utf8charEscaped">&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;</span> 
       | 
      <span id="utf8charNotEscaped">����</span> 
       | 
      <span id="utf8char">&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;</span> 
       | 
      <span id="utf8charInEscapedFormat">&#228;&#252;&#246;&#223;</span> 


So I see the following problem:
 Escaping, or not defining the escape attribute, incorrectly converts 
international characters to their numeric or mnemonic value.

> HTMLOutputText (which delegates to HTMLEncoder) escapes not only XML-invalid 
> charactres (like <, >, &), but also german umlauts. This is OK if generating 
> (X)HTML, but not OK if generating XML. However, according to the official 
> documentation to the outputText Tag the german umlauts should not be quoted: 
> If the "escape" attribute is not present, or it is present and its value is 
> "true" all angle brackets should be converted to the ampersand xx semicolon 
> syntax when rendering the value of the "value" attribute as the value of the 
> component.
> There is an automatic XML detection, but this is broken, as only predefined 
> MIME-types are recognized (application/xhtml+xml, application/xml, text/xml).
> This bug prevents using JSF for generating other content (e.g. SVG, MIME-type 
> image/svg+xml).
