Actually, we generally try to leave the pool as the last argument and
squeeze new args in either just before it, or near other related args.

Maybe If @a is_attribute is @c TRUE... ? We all-caps TRUE and FALSE
when describing values of boolean args (and of course, in the code
which tests for those values).

Yeah, move is_attribute to just before the pool argument (same for the
other two escape functions).

While this is technically correct, I'd rather see an extra set of
parens around the -ed stuff after !is_attribute || -- just makes
the reading easier to follow in moments where that part of your brain
that stores order-of-operations misfires. :-) Not crucial, mind you
(and Greg Stein is probably gritting his teeth already at my
suggestion), but it never hurts to make code super-clear.

I'd really prefer *not* to escape spaces. Perhaps you could #if 0 out
that space-escaping portions, leaving your comments present in case we
do in fact need to enable that feature. Spaces are way more common
than any other whitespace character in our attributes, and the less
escaping we actually do, the better for readability.

These property values will be CDATA. See do_proppatch() in that same
file.

Nice work. A few cleanups and it's good to go. Care to resubmit?
