Only if we're constrained by compatibility and tradition. If we were 
starting anew, It would be easy to define it so there is only one 
special character, namely <, which could be escaped by doubling it. Then 
perhaps use <10> or <0xA> for numeric character references, and <&mdash> 
for named entity references (if we think we need them).
