i had to do a similar thing when creating an encapsulation for WSDLs under
test. i started with a CDATASection, then moved onto a fully escaped string
before finally resorting to using a base64 encoding as the contained text
could be in a different charset to the container document.

There's no such thing as XML that isn't well-formed. If it's not
well-formed XML, then it isn't XML at all. (So why the adjective? - ask
the spec authors).

If you want to carry non-XML text wrapped in an XML document, use CDATA.
