In JDK v1.2.2, java.util.Properties class source code has two private methods
named saveConvert and loadConvert that convert between Unicode and Unicode
Escapes. Would be really good if these methods were exposed in some official
way - we are using these for reading and writing XML with embedded Unicode
characters.

Alternatively, or as well, would be good if an official encoding scheme for
Unicode Escapes could be registered with IANA and supported within Java.
