We should test these cases to see if they result in bad
XML being serialized to bytes or whether the Java
byte<->char conversions handle things properly. If we
find a case of creating bad XML we should either fix
it, or document clearly a precondition of the methods
that disallows such text.

There is a typo in the title. It should be "Test creation
of bad XML text".
