My point was that things like
<http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/for-each select="foo">
<http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/element name="bar">
<http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/apply-templates/>
</http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/element>
</http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/for-each>
would never have flown anyway, regardless of conflicts
with other XML delimiters. "For compatibility with SGML"
is at best a secondary issue.
