XML escaping functions only escape first occurrence of each markup character

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Test the xmlEscapeText function with this string: Im <b>bold</b>!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect it to produce: Im &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;!
However this is what is produced: Im &lt;b&gt;bold</b>!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using version 0.5 on a PC.

Please provide any additional information below.
I believe that the function needs to be modifed from this:
function xmlEscapeText(s) {
  return ('' + s).replace(/&/, '&amp;').replace(/</, '&lt;').
    replace(/>/, '&gt;');
}

To this:
function xmlEscapeText(s) {
  return ('' + s).replace(/&/g, '&amp;').replace(/</g, '&lt;').
    replace(/>/g, '&gt;');
}

That way all the < & and > are found in the string.

I dont know if this is the behavior that you are wanting.
