N3 XML Literals in ARQ SPARQL/Update

[Evan Patton]

Hello,

I'm having some issues with SPARQL/Update support in ARQ using Jena 2.6.4 and 
Joseki 3.4.3. I obtain query results in N3 format from the endpoint using a 
DESCRIBE query and the results include some XMLLiterals specified using the ^^ 
syntax. However, if I attempt to load these files using a LOAD query, all of 
the < and > characters are encoded as &lt; and &gt; and when queried using the 
DESCRIBE no longer make sense to other tools. First, is this the expected 
behavior for loading XML Literals? If so, is there any easy way to change the 
behavior without having to extensively change the source (i.e. some 
configuration option for Jena I can set)?

Your advice is greatly appreciated,
