JDOM internally stores the *semantic* value of the XML not the
incidental serialized form it had before ingestion. That said, you can
with the outputter (via the Format class) plug in an EscapeStrategy that
dictates which characters to escape as character entities. It escapes
using the char's hex numeric value.

You could also just use the Format class to adjust the output encoding
to "US-ASCII" and then it'll escape all chars that aren't under 128.
