Description:
------------
Hi,

it would be great to be able to serialize/unserialize CDATA elements. As XML_Serializer sits on top of XML_Util and Util does provide this feature, maybe it's not that hard to integrate this into XML_Serializer as well.

Thank you very much for your efforts!

Best regards,
Torsten Roehr

One more thing: Why is htmlspecialchars() applied by default when serializing? Shouldn't the resulting XML string be output-neutral?

Maybe you could add an option for this that defaults to true to keep BC. Thank you.

I don't know about serializing CDATA Elements with XML_Serializer, but unserialize works. Though the data's spaces are trimmed at beginning and end (in the endHandler of XML_Unserializer), which is definitively undesired.

If you kindly could consider this in the next release?
Thanks!
