The problem is that entity references cannot be printed in attribute values 
nor in comments.

After reconsideration, here's an improved (IMO) proposal.

* setEscaping(boolean enable)
  Enables or disables escaping of ampersands. If entity references should be
  printed, then escaping should be disabled. This setting applies to
  pcdata(String), whitespace(String) and to the attribute value passed to
  attribute(String,String).
  See: isEscaping()

* isEscaping()
