I need to use getXMLEncoded because the title

I saw the suggestion to modify the getXMLEncoded route on the JIRA ticket, so
I decided to do some testing with that. I only know two ways to set the title
for a document (are there more?) either from the content or the title, and
here's the results from those. (I have edited the out some hrefs="")
Case 1: Having a document where title field is blank, but having a section as
Document 1: = A damn <hr /> ruler =
Document 2: = Att-göra-lista =
Results:
$rdoc.displayTitle
1 <a>A damn <hr /> ruler</a>
2 <a>Att göra-lista</a>
$xwiki.getXMLEncoded($rdoc.getRenderedTitle('plain/1.0')
1 <a>A damn <hr /> ruler</a>
2 <a>Att göra-lista</a>
Visually: all the results appears okay and the same in Firefox. (I wonder if
IE versions can handle the XML output?) The xml route outputs UTF-8
characters, whereas displayTitle escapes them correctly even if the browser
selects wrong character encoding. However, the rest of the wiki use utf-8
consistently so that later case is not likely an issue.
Case 2: Putting the same in proper title field.
Results:
$rdoc.displayTitle
1 <a>= A damn </a><hr/><a> ruler =</a>
2 <a>= Att göra-lista =</a>
$xwiki.getXMLEncoded($rdoc.getRenderedTitle('plain/1.0')
1 <a>= A
damn</a><p><a></a></p><hr/><a></a><p><a>ruler
=</a></p>
2 <a>= Att göra-lista =</a>
Visually: As you see, the characters are not escaped at all when using the
title, no matter what method is being used. Guessing would make me say the
title field is buggy. The xml route even puts in a few extra <p> tags for some
reason.
I think the proper title field needs to be fixed in some way to escape special
characters before this can be fixed. It might also be good to have an example
where getXMLEncoded() does any good for panel links at the moment, for testing
purposes?
