Re: Why "EntityReference not supported for WBXML" ?

Hi Bogdan,

Entity refernces are not supported by WBXML. Special characters such as '<' and 
'&' are escaped automatically in the "regular" kXML serializer and do not need 
to be escaped in WBXML.

Just send your text directly and unescaped to text().

Best regards
