There isn't a away to disable this using the XML text outputter that is
the default with the CLI. There have been requests in the past to change
how we output XML (e.g. preserving newlines) so not escaping these might
be something to consider.
However, one option would be to use a different InfosetOutputter that
doesn't do escaping. The Scala infoset outputter does also escape quotes
by default when printed, but it looks like JDOM and w3cdom do not. So
using the CLI, you could use -I jdom or -I w3cdom and you'll get a
slightly different output that doesn't escape quotes.
