I'm parsing a string of XML into an XDocument that looks like this (using XDocument.Parse)

<Root>
  <Item>Here is &quot;Some text&quot;</Item>
</Root>

Then I manipulate the XML a bit, and I want to send it back out as a string, just like it came in

<Root>
  <Item>Here is &quot;Some text&quot;</Item>
  <NewItem>Another item</NewItem>
</Root>

However, what I am getting is

<Root>
  <Item>Here is \"Some text\"</Item>
  <NewItem>Another item</NewItem>
</Root>

Notice how the double quotes are now escaped instead of encoded?

This happens whether I use

ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);

or

var stringWriter = new System.IO.StringWriter();
xDoc.Save(stringWriter, SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
var newXml = stringWriter.GetStringBuilder().ToString();

How can I have the double quotes come out as " and not \"?

UPDATE: Maybe this can explain it better:

var origXml = "<Root><Item>Here is \"Some text&quot;</Item></Root>";
Console.WriteLine(origXml);
var xmlDoc = System.Xml.Linq.XDocument.Parse(origXml);
var modifiedXml = xmlDoc.ToString(System.Xml.Linq.SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
Console.WriteLine(modifiedXml);

the output I get from this is:

<Root><Item>Here is "Some text&quot;</Item></Root>
<Root><Item>Here is "Some text"</Item></Root>

I want the output to be:

<Root><Item>Here is "Some text&quot;</Item></Root>
<Root><Item>Here is "Some text&quot;</Item></Root>
