  write your own function ! The places where xmlEscapeEntities() is called
must be preserved, I don't want libxml2 to output not well formed XML.
The behaviour, in the context of the library as it is used, must be preserved
it's not negociable. Now if you want a function similar to this but with
a different behaviour for your own use, use your own copy.
