Using proppatch to set properties with XML results in escaped XML in server metadata file

Hi - 
 
 When I use proppatch to set a property on a resource (a collection in
this case) that contains XML the server side file contains the
following escaped XML sequences in the property:
 
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <data>
     <objectnode classname="org.apache.slide.structure
.SubjectNode"
 ..
               <snip>
 ..
 <property name="medcommons" namespace=""
                     value="&lt;MCSeries&gt;...
 
 Yes  -  I know I need to set the namespace  (one problem at a time
:-) ) but here I'm concerned with the escaping of the XML and how to
avoid it in the server metadata files.
 
 The client-side code (both sides use jakarta-slide the client side
uses 2.1; the server a 2.2ish version checked out from CVS about a
week ago)
 
 WebdavResource wdr = null;
 String metadata; // A string version of an XML document that starts
like "<MCSeries>..."
 
 <snip>
 
 success = wdr.proppatchMethod(newPath, "medcommons", metadata, true);
 
 Where do I configure/code Slide to save the metadata files in the
following form:
 <property name="medcommons" namespace=""
                     value="<MCSeries>...
 
 The two reasons that I want to save the metadata without the escape
characters are for byte bloat and because there is server-side code
that examines this metadata.
 
 Thanks!
