There is no work-around. As Daniel explained, it's an error to supply
mixed content for the standard string datatype. I'm not sure why you
have to convert all your documents, unless you're providing them all as
attribute values (ie, this doesn't matter for the ResourceContent
section of a Request).

If you don't want to escape your tags, then probably your best option is
to define a new datatype that handles mixed content, and write a custom
function that converts that that datatype into a standard string.

As for questions about why where you're getting that error, you should
mail me directly or use the sunxacml-discuss list, since that's a
source-specific question.
