  That's a bug in libxml serializer(s)
it has been in libxml2 TODO list for a while:
--------
- Fix output of <tst val="x&#xA;y"/>
--------

  I would need to write a specific escaping function for attributes
but didn't do it yet.
  Could you register it as a bug in Bugzilla, I will try to get it
fixed before the next release (but work to do is piling up :-\).
