Hmm...  An <i> in the content string will become &lt;i&gt; when written
using XMLOutputter, not what you want.  But converting an HTML fragment
to XML (a la JDOM) is difficult because standard HTML isn't well-formed
XML.  What are you going to do if someone writes in

If you store that in XML, the document will be malformed.
