| The main use case for this step is the RSS description element
| (which is what I included in my example. Doing the above does allow
                                      did you mean "does not" ^^^
| handling the RSS description element.

| I could see having the step work in two ways:
|
|  * Given a match pattern via an option called 'match', it will
|    escape particular elements (e.g. the RSS description element).

So the semantics of match would be that it (un)escapes the content of
the matched element, but not the matched element?

I suppose I could live with that.

|    document wrapped in a c:result element as you've demonstrated
|    above.

                                        Be seeing you,
