Thanks, but that's not quite the problem - I'm going to have to escape the
JSON somehow to fix the local page, yes, but the problem is finding a way
to do it that things that consume it will recognize. Far as I can see,
there's no standard property on a <script> to indicate that the contents
need any preprocessing. So if I escape the JSON, I'm expecting Google to
happily index the sites as being named "less-than-aitch-one-greater-than
Site Name less-than-slash-aitch-one-greater-than" which is... not quite
what I want.
