+Summary: DataSet.WriteXml does not (always) produce well-formed xml
+
+The method DataSet.WriteXml as implemented in Mono does always write
+well-formed XML.
+
+The names (encoded as 'string') of the DataColumn (inside a DataTable) are
+directly used in the output XML file produced by DataSet.WriteXml. In
+particular, if those names contains a character like '/' or '\' the XML
+output is not well-formed.
+
+The MS .Net behavior is different. Troublesome characters are first
+converted to '_'. The MS behavior is saffer because, writing bad XML
+(without even an exception thrown) gives to the user the false impression
+that the data where successfully written in XML.
