It is not Helpers.bind() that's transforming the text. It's the XML
libraries that properly XML escape Text() elements when they are converted
from XML representation to a byte stream.
In almost every context, this is what you want... you want Strings to be
properly escaped. If that was not the case, there would be tons of cross
site scripting issues.
So, what is the type of "message" in the code above? Do you really, really,
really mean for the String representation of message to be not XML escaped?
