binary data in XML is impossible in general. And even if the xmlTextWriter
did not tweak newline on output any conformant XML parser will normalize
at parse time, it's mandatory from the spec
  http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-line-ends
You're trying to use the wrong tool, read the spec. Or UUencode your
data.
