Doesn't this raise the obvious question about escaping content that happens 
to have the fixed marker? I don't love the lookahead requirement implied in 
encoding arbitrary content for multipart-mime, but at least it works with 
most any content, and in many case one knows in advance from the type of 
the content which markers will be OK.

This is a sufficiently obvious concern that I suspect you've got a good 
(and perhaps equally obvious) answer ready. I.e. I know I'm probably just 
missing something about the use cases.
