Um, I see your point.

If you get really desperate you could do something Perl-esque where you
choose your delimiters. e.g. in Perl you do:
s/XYZ/ABC/ or s#XYZ#ABC#
in XML you could choose between {}, [], or some other non-name character
such as:
<$http://www.mycompany.com/myschema$:root
If you need any more help, let me know ;-)
