   Exporting XML with characters less than #x20

I'm exporting data to XML and escaping the special XML characters (&amp;,
&apos;, etc.).

How should characters less than #x20 (excluding #x9, #xA and #D) be handled
in the output?

I've looked at a couple of XML serializers and they either encode them as
&#[0-9]; or just pass them through. However, this encoding is not legal if
you try to parse the XML document, since the parser will complain of an
invalid character, regardless of whether it is an ASCII 30 in the output or
&#30;.

Any pointers or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.
