Elliotte's point still stands: any language that needs quotes to be escaped is problematic. Note that the issue only comes up if one insists on writing tags in strings. That's the broken idea we need to get away from (because you can't test the string for wellformedness before runtime, and by that time the programmers have gone home, the product has shipped, and others are footing the bills.)
