Hi,

It seems that GWT DOES escape the semicolon character but actually
this is a valid XML character and should not be escaped according to
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-references and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references

Here's a snippet of how this error can be reproduced:
<code>
public static String escapeXml(String xml) {
                Document document= XMLParser.createDocument();
                Text textNode= document.createTextNode(xml);
                return textNode.toString();
        }
</code>

calling this method with ";" yields "&semi;". Semi is not defined as a
standard entity and thus produces errors in my backend.

Is this really a bug in the GWT XML parser or is my escaping method
wrong?

thanks for any feedback,

Dennis
