SaveToXml should not automatically encode html entities.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a new post and save it using the following code snippet and 
the .NET client library.
-----------------------------
AtomEntry entry = new AtomEntry(); 
entry.Content.Content = "<b> Bold </b>"; 
entry.Content.Type = "html"; 
entry.Title.Text = "testing"; 

Service service = new Service(); 
NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential(m_userName, m_password); 
service.Credentials = nc; 

AtomEntry postedEntry = service.Insert(new Uri(m_Url), entry); 
System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(); 
postedEntry.SaveToXml(stream); 
string sData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(stream.ToArray()); 
stream.Close(); 

----------------------------- 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When I look at postedEntry - content is "&lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;" and 
type is "html". When I call postedEntry.SaveToXml, the resulting xml 
string I get contains - 
"<content 
type=\"html\">&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;bold&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;</content>". The 
SaveToXml encoded &lt; to &amp;lt; which I think is incorrect. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.8 on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
