Yes: I should have said "no 'relevant construct' must start with a composing...

The serialization spec defines "relevant construct" by reference to section 2.13
of XML 1.1, which defines it thus:

   1. The replacement text of all parsed entities
   2. All text matching, in context, one of the following productions:
         1. CData
         2. CharData
         3. content
         4. Name
         5. Nmtoken

I think we're only concerned with one parsed entity, namely the one we are
generating, and the rest is all perfectly well-defined, if somewhat onerous to
check.
