Comment:
I'm not sure a util in Django is really called for here. (The thought is:
''Process your data prior to handing it off for serialization.'')
**Maybe** we could include something but...
1. Are there not already utilities available that do everything you want
here (and more)? (Searching "Python xml escape control characters" seems
to provide some suggestions.)
2. The [https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-controls#handling
W3C doc] suggests replacing replacing control characters with numeric
codes. Should we not be doing this?
3. Then if we are going to just strip the characters out, I'm not sure we
need a utility just for that? (Back to the initial thought.)
I'll mark this Needs Info. Maybe a fuller suggestion presented to the
DevelopersMailingList might be a way forward.
