The problem isn't with quotes. You used a poor metaphor, so I provided a better one. The problem is that aXML can't

aXML doesn't need an escape character, it doesn't try to distinguish code from data, in aXML code and data are one and the same.

Wrong, that's the really really really really big problem we're talking about, wrong.

Did you forget what we were talking about?

aXML needs to be able to distinguish a <d> it must process (code) and one that it must pass through (data).

With regard to your other point, in aXML the only difference between <foo bar="moo"></foo> and <foo><bar>moo</bar></foo>

In my examples, foo isn't a plugin. Please reread with that in mind.
