Kohsuke,
I very much appreciate the effort for resolving this in JAXB 2.0.
However for those of us who can no wait for the 2.0 release, I have
found a solution for use in JAXB 1.0.
The JAXB FAQs
https://jaxb.dev.java.net/faq/index.html#marshalling_cdata
describes how to use the Xerces XMLSerializer class to wrap text data in
CDATA tags. This approach to serialization can be used to take advantage
of the Xerces OutputFormat.setPreserveSpace method to encode the Line
Feed and Tab characters in attribute values.
There is one caveat to this solution; older versions of Xerces have the
same shortcomings with respect to attribute line feeds. This approach
works with Xerces 2.6.2, but did not with Xerces 1.4.0.
Regards
Ron

Fixed in the repository. This change will show up in the next Monday's
weekly.
