Yeah, I ended up doing that basically, but in some specific helpers. My coworker refined it though using the htmlentities plugin. You can see it here: http://github.com/kete/kete/tree/master/lib/oai_dc_helpers.rb#L135
Long term we may do this for all the xml values, not just our dc:description element. So it might move up to monkey patching builder or more general spot or something.
