True, but the test data is meant for the test suite--it's seldom that people
are going to read it themselves. And the output files in the log/ directory
will be decoded and human-readable.

OTOH, it would be nice to support XML entities to fix the embedded CR problem
and make all the test files true XML. But that means writing an XML entity
parser for both perl and the C servers, although if the files were true XML
then we could use existing XML parsers.
