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.
