XML tags not validated according to usual rules for NCName

[t0mpr1c3]

Symbol to string conversion in srl:sxml->xml does not escape XML characters. Nor does string parsing in ssax:xml->sxml recognise escaped characters.

(require sxml) 
(srl:sxml->xml '(number->string "2")) ;; '>' not escaped...
(ssax:xml->sxml (open-input-string (srl:sxml->xml '(number->string "2"))) null) ;; ... so this fails
(ssax:xml->sxml (open-input-string "<number-&gt;string>2</number-&gt;string>") null) ;; but this also fails

Interesting. Yes, it seems to me that sxml->xml should do validation of the NCName production given in https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-Name . It seems like the kind of thing that Oleg would have gotten right, though, so I think I should do some digging before agreeing that this is a bug.

Yes

Should this at least be documented?
