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?

Of course the format *could* be defined so that the XML-typed properties 
are actually persisted as XML; but that would be an incompatible format 
change, I guess.
