    Subject: Summary of legal string value discussion


    
    The issue raised was the use of XML elements within a string value, as:
    
      <AttributeValue DataType="...string"><foo>bar</foo></AttributeValue>
    
    We agreed that this is illegal, and if you need to represent XML trees
    inside a string that you should use the encoding characters that XML
    provides:
    
      <AttributeValue DataType="...string">&lt;foo/&gt;</AttributeValue>
    
    This does not affect any normative text in the specification, but it
    does require a few eamples to change. Optionally, we might call this out
    in Appendix A so it's clear how this is handled.
