[web2py] xml generated by web2py restful api

[castanets]

restful api generated xml like as below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><document>
<content>&lt;item&gt;&lt;status&gt;1&lt;/status&gt;&lt;/item&gt;</content>
</document>

is there any method that the result is changed like this? :
<?xml version="1.0" 
encoding="UTF-8"?><document><content><item><status>1</status>
</item></content></document>

Thanks.
