Actually this is a bug not an RFE. The SAXParser implementation in DeploymentRuleSetParser does not override ignorableWhitespace, so when such a string is in the xml file, and multiple calls to characters() and ignorableWhitespace() are made, the text is not appended together to get the correct string - this is a simple fix.

Enhancement request, this was designed to be a simple text message only.
