The problem of course is that the possibility of escaped markup is unavoidable, any text format has to provide a method for escaping characters meaningful to that format. It does however seem rather strange that with the xml format so many people are just wildly running around escaping the format, and then reformatting the escaped. Can anyone point to any other format where this has been a common problem? I can't think of any.
