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

That wouldn't be a well-formed XML file anymore. Why would you want that?

Let me ask a different way - 

I do want the XML to be well formed - I just don't want the XML that
I've assigned by a property to be escaped (e.g., replace "<" with
"&lt;"). . Is it possible to insert properties in a metadata file so
that I can access them directly via XPath - or will I have to read the
escaped XML data, interpret it, and then use XPath to extract data
from them?

This is the second time this question has come up in a week.

Shouldn't slide be storing these properties as CDATA elements so that a 
more generous set of characters can be used?

Thanks.
