Yes, that would be required if we stay with the XML format, I don't see any
other way around it, and I definitely wouldn't want to introduce escaped
text inside the documentation content, just to get around the XML format
issue. Again, no extra burden should be placed on the documentation writer
- simply writing documentation is already a burden enough. :)

Alternatively (which I believe is not desired - and wasn't my plan either),
is to use a totally different file format than XML. I guess for the sake of
covering all basis, what do others think of this? Personally, I don't see
an issue with staying with XML and simply put all <descr> and <short>
content inside a CDATA block. I assume the fcl-xml units know how to handle
CDATA blocks?
