Hopefully Andrew Kuchling is reading this... he gave a presentation at the
recent DC PIGies meeting about this, and basically said it might be CALLED
XML, but it's neither legal nor well-formed.  He had a horrendous time
parsing it, and when talking with people found out that nobody had tried to
parse it with a real XML parser, just regexes... ick, what's the point?  I'd
talk with him before endeavoring to understand this one.
