That's what "script" does, and I see no reason to duplicate it.

On the other hand, having an <xml> element which says that everything up
to the matching </xml> is well-formed XML (without prologue or epilogue)
and should be incorporated into the DOM seems a good idea to me.  If there
are legacy concerns with <xml>, use <well-structured-extension> or for
that matter <scritchifchisted> instead.
