Believe me, I would if I could. But I'm not the writer. The HTML is written
by end users, stored in my app, and sent to other apps on which I have no
control.

But I also need to support <b>Hello</b>, where both tags must be part of the
text value.

Currently I convert the "<" to "&lt;" and ">" to "&gt;". I copied this
method from Adobe's xmp format, but I find it rather heavy, and I don't know
if it's official.
