Section 3.3.3 of the XML Recommendation tells us that whitespace in attribute values should be normalised to space and that if the value should contain, say, a tab, then this can be achieved using the character reference 	
How does one, however, create an attribute value containing such a character reference in dom4j 1.4? If I create an Attribute with a value containing a tab, dom4j 1.4 will write out a literal tab which, on re-parsing will become a space (per 3.3.3) If I create an Attribute with a value containing 	 dom4j 1.4 will escape the & and will write out 	 which, on re-parsing, will become a literal 	 (instead of a tab) Without hacking dom4j to escape tab as 	 on writing, is there anything else that can be done? Am I missing something?
