Hi Mick,
the XML specs (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-AttValue) states that the attribute value should not contain <, & and " (or '); the > character is allowed to be written without being escaped.

[10] |AttValue| ::= |'"' ([^<&"] | Reference <http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-Reference>)* '"' |

        
        
|| "'" ([^<&'] | Reference <http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-Reference>)* "'"|

I have attempted to create a DOM writer using the documented examples that came 
with Xerces-C++ v2.8, without success.
The problem is, the attribute-name pair (Name="Blah") is written to file as (Name="&lt;Blah>")... note the 
">" not being converted to "&gt;".
I have traced the problem to the XMLFormatter class, and believe the 
'EscapeFlags' value nees to be set to 'StdEscapes'. Currently it defaults to 
'AttrEscapes'. This is what I have derrived from looking at the code, however 
this is open to debate/suggestions.

If this is the case, my question is, how do I set the EscapeFlags value to 
StdEscapes cosidering I have used the following to write the DOM tree to file:

m_serialiser->setFeature( XERCES::XMLUni::fgDOMWRTFormatPrettyPrint, true );
XERCES::XMLFormatTarget *target = new XERCES::LocalFileFormatTarget( filename );
m_serialiser->writeNode( target, *m_xmlDocument );
target->flush( );
delete target;
