I have a small suggestion, or better, a solution:
First, yes, the xmlwriter should check names for validity.
Second: Adding escaping to xmlcfg. Whenever a part of a path violates
the XML specs, this part gets escaped. I suggest to use the underscore
character as escaping char. Existing underscores in names gets doubled,
and invalid characters will be transformed to underscore plus hex code.
As I don't want to break too many existing xmlcfg files, the use of
escaping should be indicated by a leading underscore in the name, as I
think this case is quite seldom. (hardly any currently existing xmlcfg
files will use an underscore as first character in any name, I think).
Any comments?
