How is your unmodified SGML editor going to deal with this? Both Adept and A/E understand NET when they read SGML, and both products will normalise and write out SGML with no NET tags. My <@e> suggestion (adding @ as a UCNMSTRT or LCNMSTRT character) will at least let you create XML files with existing SGML tools. Although if the \< suggestion is adopted, RS/RE changed, and there is no DTD, and there are processing instructions at the start that tell you the character set, I expect you'll need a conversion program anyway.
