    I thought that was what PCDATA was for.

    If I am understanding Eric's requirement, I ran into that problem a while
    back when trying to build a "Paragraph Server" that communicated with XML.
    All the "paragraphs" I wanted to serve were already in HTML. This caused
    confusion for the my parser so I ended up translating the "<" that started
    each inline tag to some other char string ("&LT" maybe, I don't remember).

    But if someone were using a proper parser (i.e. a validating one), couldn't
    one just state in the DTD that an element contains PCDATA and expect the
    parser to ignore the inline tags?
