Dan Fabulich updated SUREFIRE-456:
----------------------------------
Description:
It's illegal to include a non-visible control character in XML, even as a
character entity. e.g. "�" is illegal in XML, even though it's
semantically meaningful.
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#charsets
Disturbingly, Java's XML serializer will cheerfully print out � despite
the fact that it will refuse to parse that entity.
As a workaround, for 2.4.2 we're deliberately doublly XML-escaping non-visible
control characters, printing them as "�" instead of "�"
like they're supposed to be. That's better than any alternative I can think of
(e.g. throwing the characters away in test results, replacing them with a "?"
character).
