If you send a string and the string contains XML then <, & and > 
characters will be automatically escaped so that the XML-RPC message is 
still valid. At the other end the XML parser will replace the escapes 
with the <, & and > characters.

What this means is that the string you send will be the string which is 
received. If the string contains XML then it will arrive safely at the 
other end without any special action on your behalf.
