No, no, no.

And if we must, then surely the semantics has to be that the *entire*
document is escaped and returned in a new wrapper:

  <doc><foo/></doc>

becomes

  <wrapper>&lt;doc>&lt;foo/>&lt;/doc></wrapper>

Yeah, I need to think about that one a bit.

So it doesn't stream, it buffers the whole thing. Fine, but it has to
say that. Or it should say that it streams and uses a particular
pattern for generating IDs and if you get dups, the component fails.
