I don't think so this issue is too hot. How long we support XML? The output format is static - the date format is fixed. How much issues was there? Was there any issue, that was not solvable by casting? If somebody needs different quoting, then it can be solved by explicit cast in SQL query, and not in hacking our output routines.
