All this discussion of SGML/XML is moot if we can't fix the basic
problem of SGML's special characters conflicting with Python's.  Is
that problem solvable?  Paul, you mentioned that it's possible to use
characters other than <> in SGML, but it's not commonly done.  Why
not?  What about XML?  Would it be possible to write a DTD that looked
like TIM, instead of looking like HTML?
