Note that if you don’t have the XML output method, strings are output
without escaping, so you can’t see that it has worked.
Interesting, indeed. I wonder whether it wouldn't make sense, to have
BaseX provide escape()/unescape() shortcut functions, maybe in the
conversion module.

For now, I found a way to circumvent the global setting by adding an
addition fn:serialize#1 function call:

  declare function local:escapexml($input as item()*) as xs:string?
  {
    serialize(<wrapper>{fn:serialize($input)}</wrapper>/text(),map{"method":"xml"})
  };

Thanks for helping out!
