/**
 * {@code Escaper} instances suitable for strings to be included in XML
 * attribute values and elements' text contents. When possible, avoid manual
 * escaping by using templating systems and high-level APIs that provide
 * autoescaping. For example, consider <a href="http://www.xom.nu/">XOM</a> or
 * <a href="http://www.jdom.org/">JDOM</a>.
 *
 * <p><b>Note:</b> Currently the escapers provided by this class do not escape
 * any characters outside the ASCII character range. Unlike HTML escaping the
 * XML escapers will not escape non-ASCII characters to their numeric entity
 * replacements. These XML escapers provide the minimal level of escaping to
 * ensure that the output can be safely included in a Unicode XML document.
 *
 *
 * <p>For details on the behavior of the escapers in this class, see sections
 * <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#charsets">2.2</a> and
 * <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#syntax">2.4</a> of the
 * XML specification.
