well, its up to teh API designer of course,
but i find the asymmetry of teh interface odd.
nevertheless, if it is our duty to encode before assigning,
what routine do we use?

node.content returns a string, which is 'AT&T' iirc, you want to
assign a node, not the content of a node. I believe it's quite
deliberate that it doesn't escape string input (try and construct an
HTML or RSS feed). It's easier to escape on assign than have a magic
escape in these situat
xml:
AT&T
i parse this using
doc = LibXML::XML::Document.file('foo.xml')
if node points to this element, then
node.content == 'AT&T'
all well and good. if i want to now create a new document,
then i do
newnode = LibXML::XML::Node.new('Company')
newn
