Builder::XmlMarkup + output encoding

Hi,

Is it possible to NOT encode or escape some chars in Builder ?

code:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘builder’

builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target=>STDOUT, :indent=>2)
builder.instruct!
builder.person { |b| b.name(“Jim Fernández”); b.phone(“555-1234”) }

output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Jim Fernández 555-1234

I want:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Jim Fernández 555-1234

thanks!

m.
