Do you mean that fields may contain control characters?
Then how did you do that with XML? For instance,

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>&#12;</test>

is incorrect (xmllint says: "parser error : xmlParseCharRef: invalid
xmlChar value 12").

Also, couldn't such control characters be munged by a text editor?
