Heh.

Yes. In fact, that's the default behaviour: data in
an XML document doesn't _do_ anything on its own
until some process interprets it.

Also, you may find the construct helpful.
Inside a CDATA section, you don't have to escape &, <, or >,
so you can basically copy-and-paste whatever you want
as long as it doesn't contain the closing delimiter "]]>".

Quoting ,
section 3, question 2:

| Q. How do I include JavaScript inside an XML document?
|
| A. Easy! Just write:
|
| | ... your JavaScript code goes here ...
| ... make sure it doesn't contain the sequence "]]>"...
| ]]>
|


This is the first time I've ever heard anyone ask that question
who was expecting that answer though...
