Well... there *IS* that abomination which is called CDATA,
which can indeed make well formedness dependent on DTD's,
for an otherwise constant "stream of characters". *Shudder*.
I think you need that in XHTML for such things as <style>
and <script>, which embed in the otherwise-XML-compliant
document "arbitrary" pieces of other-language syntax. A
hack by any other name...
