Interesting idea and a neat hack. If I'm reading this write, though, 
it would require writing < in XML as &< and so forth for other 
genuine entity and character references. I agree with Seairth that 
using a different character such as # would be preferable to using an 
XML reserved and frequently used character such as &. Possibly ^ and 
~ are relatively infrequently used, and thus could be adapted for 
this purpose.
