XMLBeans does not escape whitespace characters in attribute values on output
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: XMLBEANS-357
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-357
             Project: XMLBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: XmlObject
    Affects Versions:  Version 2.3
            Reporter: Mark van Holsteijn


When XMLBeans parses an XML attribute that contains newline character entities, 
it does preserve them but when the attribute value is sent to output the entity 
is not preserve causing lose of information. 

An example:

<document>
    <property  name="properties" value="
line 1&#xA;
line 2&#xA;
line 3&#xA;
"/>
</document>

is outputted as

<document>
    <property  name="properties" value="
line 1
line 2
line 3
"/>
</document>

When this document  is parsed again, the newlines in the attribute are lost (!)

Adding the newline character to the saveSubstituteCharacters option using an 
XmlOptionsCharEscapeMap does not help for attribute values, only for elements.
