You may have read some of the discussion between Jose and I, but since
you are actually doing it, maybe you can answer some of the stuff we
were talking about :
1) Is your listener sensitive to where you are in the template? I.e.
how do you know if you should escape the insert?
2) Why isn't post processing of the stream, or a smarter writer a
possible solution? It might mean you would have to remove the
pre-escaped entities in the constant parts of the templates, but that
would seem to me to make the template even more flexible, as you could
post process with different escape rules (although I am sure you don't
care about that... you just want to get the XML done...)
