<XMP> is an obsolete tag---it's actually illegal in HTML 4.0. Some web
browsers (including Opera 5.12, which I use the most) don't support this
tag. So if I used <XMP> it wouldn't look right on my computer.
Also, if $file happens to contain </XMP> in it, it'll break...although it
would be very unusual for a work of fiction to contain that string.
