Summary: newlines in attribute values not escaped when writing

Initial Comment:
Neither xml.sax.writer.XmlWriter (nor PrettyPrinter) nor sax.saxutils.XmlGenerator escapes newlines embedded in attribute values (the values in the attrs passed to startElement).  I am no expert on XML, but I believe they should be escaped (see, for example, dom.ext.Printer which apparently does escape them in TranslateCdataAttr).

In general, I wonder if there should be some way to specify additional entities which can be passed to the calls to sax.saxutils.escape made by the different sax outputters?
