Sorry about that - to access the list archives you needed to be logged
in to sourceforge.  I've now made the list public so that signing in is
no longer required.  (But posts are still only permitted from list
members).

Within AGLIB the value of a feature is an uninterpreted string.  In the
XML DTD, the content of a feature is PCDATA.  So it is fine on both
counts to include well-formed XML markup.

There's one caveat though - I'm not sure what assumptions the file I/O
module makes about the content of features.  (Haejoong would you please
let us know if you see any problem with this?)
