These are probably the only exceptions (I might be missing some,
though), but they’re enough to demonstrate that you will need to
write a parser, even if only a relatively simple one.
Using a character which is illegal in XML and can never be part
of a well-formed document as a separator is a clever way to avoid
having to do *any* parsing *whatsoever*. You just scan the stream
for the character and start over when you see it, end of story.
No need to keep state or look for patterns or anything else.
