What is changed is how it is represented, instead of XMLLiteral we are saying HTML-escaped content. How does DOORS encode/escape the XHTML elements?

I know Devang was going to investigate more and report back. Let me know how DOORS handles, perhaps we need to have a meeting to review and talk through the options.
