If "]]>" is needed as a string literal or part of one, it can easily be
replaced by "]]\76" or "]]\u003E".
If it appears in program text, then "]] >" will be a sufficient
replacement.
Similar workarounds are used to avoid ETAGOs ("</") in the SCRIPT and
STYLE elements of HTML 4.0; they are necessarily language-specific.
For example, Javascript uses "<\/".
