It will break things? That, of course, is between "bad" and "annoing". But technically, I am right?
There are other people out there - e.g. me - who are trying to automate things - reformatting XML, in particular Ant-files, and who refer to the XML specification to see, what is and is not allowed. I kind of think, that those Python-script-like-people should learn to use CDATA-elements. That would solve the problem!? Ant-files should be XML, not just pretend to. -Is my opinion.

It may be possible to make that an option, but not the default IMHO. I know a few build files that write files with <echo> or simply try to pretty-format a message and we'd destroy the usecase. > Example: > > <echo>This is text!</echo> > > - and - > > <echo> > This is text! > </echo> If it didn't, it would be completely impossible to use <echo> to write a Python script for example (yes, people do things like this).
