I sent a comment to the comment list suggesting that that allowed any
value (for text output which you might not want to be subject to xml
constraints) but they turned me down:-) (not unreasonably, I think)

but rather different in that it is a local effect: the serialiser just
needs to know not to escape while expanding the character map. It
doesn't depend on where or how the character got in to the result tree.
If you could turn character maps on and off on specific attributes then
the result tree would have to have magic properties saying which maps
were in effect at each point.
