Technically there is no difference: *means* codepoint 10 to any XML
processor. A tool that only works when reading one or the other is broken.
But you can configure your app server and set the "output sgml character
entities" to "normal" - or anything other than "none". Then you should see this:
<cell>
<data>hello
big
world</data>
</cell>
I don't know if that's any better for your purposes, but at least it isn't the
literal codepoint.
