mod_dontdothat does not inhibit XML entity expansion

It seems that mod_dontdothat creates an Expat XML parser without
inhibiting XML entity expansion for the internal DTD subset. This
might cause a denial-of-service issue when parsing client-submitted
XML.

There are other pieces of code in Subversion which also create Expat
parsers this way, but they are in the client code, so there is less
exposure.

May I file an issue for this?

Thanks,
Florian
