I'm with Richard on this. The ASCII character set provides the
following delimiters:
(communication controls)
SOH = start of heading
STX = start of text
ETX = end of text
and
(informational separators)
FS = file separator
GS = group separator
RS = record separator
US = unit separator
See the RFC for ASCII (from 1969):
http://rfc.net/rfc20.html
In fact, one could argue that these character codes are safer than
the ">" and "<" of XML, as the former carry no textual meaning at all.
When I had to provide structured data before, I used combinations of
these rather than use XML (I was dynamically updating keyword lists
in a web page, so I wanted to keep the transmitted data as small as
possible).
