But... cursortoXml() should format it properly if it's binary, using the CDATA[[ ... ]] syntax and Base64 encoded binary inside.
Ah, the value of "is binary" may differ :). "Is binary" should mean "is marked as nocptrans". If it is not marked as binary but contains binaries, i.e. characters which may be, ahem, not quite kosher by XML standards, well then - you get a malformed XML.
