Milestone:  To Be Determined                           |   Component:  property_tree
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk                    |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:  property_tree xml newline graphml          |  
-------------------------------------------------------+--------------------
 This XML file :
 {{{
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <somemoredata>hello&#9;world:&#10;Want something?</somemoredata>
 }}}

 Is properly parsed and somedata contains "hello\tworld\nWant something?",
 but this information is lost when writing:
 {{{
 <somemoredata>Hello     world
 Want something?</somemoredata>
 }}}

 Reading that file will yield "Hello world Want something?", so the round
 trip ate these characters.
 Instead, write_xml should encode newlines and tabs according to
 http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xml-c14n-20000119.html#charescaping.


 Boost.Graph's write_graphml() and read_graphml() are also affected by this
 problem as they reuse  property_tree. The attached patch fix the problem
 for both libraries.
