#16 Encoding of quot and apos

[Alexander Graef]

I'm wondering why xmlrpc++ is encoding the
characters >, ' and ". The XMLRPC spec says:

Any characters are allowed in a string except < and
&, which are encoded as &lt; and &amp;. A string
can be used to encode binary data.
(http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec)

It does not hurt to have these characters also
encoded, but in my case of transfering a lot of xml
from and to the server, size is of a concern because
many " and ' get encoded, which increases the
overall file size without a need.

Thanks
