[xml] SAX and escaped characters

[Marc Ewert <ewert neofonie de>]

Hi,

I'm using the SAX-interface of libxml2-2.4.22. If I'm parsing the 
following XML-File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<doc>
  <message attr1="hello" attr2="world &amp;!&amp;">hello world</message>
  <epilogue>&amp;ciao&amp;</epilogue>
</doc>

I get "&ciao&" for the element, but "world &amp;!&amp;" for the 
attribute from the parser. Why is the &amp; decoded for the element but 
not for the attribute? Is this a bug, or a feature?

Ciao,
