The danger is there already. I've converted some fairly large bodies of text
to SGML and HTML (for example, all 52 volumes of the North Carolina
Administrative code), and one of the first things I had to do was replace
all instances of '<' and '>' with the appropriate entity reference.

If you can't guarantee that a piece of text is free of OPENS or CLOSES, then you
must either scan through and prep the text, treat the whole text as SDATA,
or use a non-reference concrete syntax.

by OPENS and CLOSES I mean ERO, MDO, STAGO, etc.
Simon
