There's plenty of code that deals with that. In general, you never
want to write XML without proper escaping first; in this case escaping
could actually happen at the XmlListModel level. For a quick fix,
escape all of the string() values below.

Ah, I see.  Good to know.  Thanks for that.  I tested the code yesterday and it works.  The only bad thing is that it uses a deprecated function that won't be in python 3 so I'll have to refigure it out once Python 2 is gone.  (the code that feeds the data engine is python)
