Hi France,

In the database, all Unicode characters will be stored in their
standard (decoded) representation. As a result, it is not possible to
preserve entities from an original document. For XML serialization via
WebDAV, we have one special rule for converting non-breaking spaces
(xA0) to entities. Which other Unicode characters would you like to
have converted to entities?

Cheers,
Christian
