Then again, maybe not given that the documentation states:
XmlTextWriter does not check for the following:
- Invalid characters in attribute and element names.
- Unicode characters that do not fit the specified encoding. If
the Unicode characters do not fit the specified encoding, the
XmlTextWriter does not escape the Unicode characters into character
entities.
- Duplicate attributes.
- Characters in the DOCTYPE public identifier or system
identifier.
We have people here who, when writing XML without a good tool, insist on
trying to put spaces in the element and attribute names...
