XML-escaping permits whitespace, meaning whitespace could not be our
delimiter. And mixing encodings is nasty.

After sleeping on this, I'd like to reverse my position. I'm fine
with double-quote-wrapped, single-space-delimited, backslash-escaped,
UTF-8 output:

   "propset" "svn:log" "This is my first \"real\" propset."
   "checkout" "/trunk/My Documents/Miscellany"
