==Escaping Escapes==
The output of the Python example has characters like > escaped but in a <pre tag it is viewed as the character rather than the escaped version. As all XML escapes start with an ampersand, I replaced the ampersand in the true Python output with the sequence five character sequence '&amp;' and the output on page reflects the textual output of the program. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 18:40, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
'''Please edit sample output so that preview output looks like program output. Unless you manually escape-the-escapes as above, you will end up seeing the character rather than the escape sequence!''' --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:10, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
== Should we underline that... ==
Should we underline that output differs slightly according to the used parser? LibXML used in C, e.g. does not escape the "'" of O'Shanter, nor " (quot); perl package XML::Mini escapes ", but not ' in O'Shanter ... and other parsers, I can see it from the output samples, do escape ' and "... --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 15:44, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
:As far as I can [http://www.xml.com/axml/testaxml.htm see], there is some flexibility as to what ''needs'' to be escaped where. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 16:28, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
== Return or print? ==
The task description says "returns an XML document" but to my (untrained) eye many languages are printing the document. Should we change the description to allow printing? Or ask the languages to change?
