Actually I don't think that you can read or write the first version with
XStream at all. XStream will always escape those two characters in a String
and unescape them at deserialization. Actually the latter is already done by
the underlaying XML parser.
If you read XML with such a construct, you let XStream operate more or less
in undefined mode, because it's internal structures do not support mixed-
mode XML. If "item" represents a String type, it depends on the parser what
happens when XStream requests for the text of the element.
