XML configuration files should not have thier values converted to Properties format

           Summary: XML configuration files should not have thier values
                    converted to Properties format
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Configurator

One of the big value propositions of using XML instead of properties files is to 
escape the boundaries of 
property file encoding.  For instance, One can set <appender>'s "File" param with a 
real windows path 
like c:\program files\ and not have to convert it to c:\\program files\\ or c:/program 
files/.  If the value 
of the path is provided by an automated build system (Ant), one shouldn't have to 
"propertize" XML 
values.

Please fix the DOMConfigurator to _not_ convert values to Properties format.
