Unfortunately, the CDATA sections solution breaks if the nested document also includes a CDATA section. The only complete solution is to encode the nested document, either as bas64, or just escape dangerous constructs. I prefer just representing it inline, and 'escaping' the xml-decl to be something like "<?x-xml ...". If there is a potential for a doctype decl, you are better off just using base64, as trying to escape a DTD is quite tricky.
