Any attempt to fix the XML issues will change the behavior of the library and result into an incompatibility with older releases. Benjamin doesn't want to change the behavior of our XML libraries. IIRC Georg and Barry are +0. I think that we should keep the current and unsafe settings as default and add a simmple API to enable limitations and protections.

I strongly believe that the decision must be the same for all stable versions. We can't impose the madness of version checks on people for them to know what to do.
