I just don’t agree. I *want* ixml to be able to parse things that
contain non-XML characters. Anything you can turn into a sequence of
characters, you can parse with ixml. Anything. That’s fantastic! And
it’s part of the value propostion of ixml from my perspective.

If you write a grammar to parse things that contain non-XML characters,
you’re taking on the responsibility of dealing with those characters.

My job is already easy, if you try to output non-XML characters you’ll
get a well-formedness error. Not my problem :-)
