No, the sequence "]]>" appearing in character content makes the document
not well-formed.  So rather than putting that wart into MicroXML, James
banned ">" from character content altogether, and the initial basis
simply bans it everywhere.

(There's precedent:  the reason all JSON keys have to be quoted is to
that the stupid list of JavaScript reserved words don't have to be in
the spec.)
