| Initial Comment:
|
| i am having to pre-process all text, substituting
| 	 for "\t" as a work-around for this problem.
| 
| if this is not performed, then all tabs inside
| attribute's values, e.g.
| <node attr="value\tsep\tby\ttabs"/>, are turned into
| spaces.

This is the correct behaviour for an XML parser, as mandated by the
XML recommendation:

| i am storing python code in an attribute value, so i
| _must_ have my tabs!!! :) :)

Then you must encode them correctly. :-)
