David --

I agree that breakage is not a good thing.

It is reasonable to issue requirements for "new = users", i.e., in this
case things flowing in through various new = directions.  For the xml
direction direct to LaTeX outside of xmltex, non-TeX = pre-processing of
CDATA to prepare for whatever you end up offering = IMHO would be fine
so long as it can be viewed as a one pass universal = filter for
chunks of CDATA.

My guess is that you want to stick with the current = internal character
representation.
