Hi Andreas -

Actually it will not break existing properties.  I've set the 
"encode-properties" value to default false, so any existing installation 
will work as before - I've tested copying old properties files into a 
new version and it works.

You're right that the documentation should be updated (I can do that), 
and there is one new message string in ApplicationResources that should 
be translated.

If the team's preference is not to include a feature like this one 
that's fine, I'm just trying to make my argument for what I feel is a 
pretty important addition :)
