seems like the document property should be getting <>& etc converted 
into entities and/or escaped anyway, yes? Swish-e doesn't parse the 
property text it stores for any kind of validity; it just keeps pushing 
chars onto the end of the string till it reaches the limit set in the 
config.

so I think the answer is, if you store special chars (<>&) in your 
properties, it's your responsibility to escape them properly in your 
display code. I would assume the asp lib has html escape() method of 
some kind.
