There's another way: put them inside a CDATA section. That way, they
won't pe parsed:
<![CDATA[
<div class="txst-banner-extra1"></div>
<div class="txst-banner-extra2"></div>
]]>
This is particularly useful for META and SCRIPT tags.
Cheers,

Thanks, David. At least it's good to know that there's not some
blindingly obvious better solution that I missed. :-P
Appreciate the help!
