In the past, when we've fixed things like this, we need to make sure
that we can parse both old XML (that used 4294967295) and new XML (that
uses -1).  I think you'll need at least one xml2xml test where the input
is old-style and output is new-style, to show that we make the
conversion correctly (and thus, we don't break on upgrade from older style).

That part makes sense, but I'm not quite ready to ACK without knowing
for sure we are testing it thoroughly.
