Peter--
It can't be done directly, since these characters can't be handled
internally and can't legally be serialized as XML.
On the other hand, if you are willing to represent your non-XML characters
in some conformant way (for example, as an element, <char n="x000C"/>), a
serializer that creates non-XML output can be wired to create it.
A facility to do something like this was included in the release of XT,
James Clark's XSLT processor. See http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html, under
the heading "non-XML output". XT is open source, so this facility could no
doubt be emulated in Xalan.

Wendell
