I thought about that -- my first attempt involved converting relevant
symbols to XML entities. But that choked on ingestion because the result was
a stream with no root element (or any other elements for that matter)

What I'm doing now is serviceable, but it has a hacky feel to it. I just
wanted to make sure I'm not attaching a plain text stream the dumb and
complicated way.
