Review Comment:
   > Assuming buildJob is just an object that contains strings and other 
things, but has no particular XML internals (like 99.9% of classes that contain 
strings) nothing inside it should be escaped.
   > 
   > Ideally the XML writer should escape strings when it needs to. Or if the 
XML writer is broken and won't do that, then the escaping should be done after 
the string is extracted from the buildJob and before it's passed to the writer. 
Escaping strings inside the buildJob breaks its semantics and tightly couples 
all the classes together in one particularly brittle path.
   
   Yes, the XML writer is broken and needs an issue.
