Similar attitude have developers of beA - Das besondere elektronische Anwaltspostfach - BRAK. They do not escape their XML properly but use string concatenations. The result is that their XML responses are invalid and I cannot use proper validating XML parser but have to extract relevant data ad-hoc using text search. And using this software is mandated by German law! I would not be surprised if the whole thing is totally insecure.
