How about
<p><>hello </><i><>sweet </><b><>world</></b></i><>.</></p>

<p><>hello </><i><>sweet</></i><> </><b>world</b><>.</></p>
Actually, in keeping with the spirit of XML, what we probably need is
an in-the-instance way to signal that a site has element content,
something along the lines of
<dl xml:ct='e'>
where possible values of ct (for Content Type) are 'e' for element
content, 'm' for mixed, and 'p' for pure #PCDATA.
No, I'm probably not serious; just waiting for a big slow index-build. -T.
