XXX: This feature is only used when writing element content values.
default value is 'true' however, if the feature is set to false
characters wont be escaped.
This feature has no effect when writing Attribute values, character would still be escaped.
I can't think of any reason why this would be useful when writing attribute values.
However, this can be reconsidered if there is any usecase.
