Why not just clearly label it as syntax which is not valid or WF XML, but can be allowed in SGML. That way people know it is not strange or naughty to use it if they need to, it is just not XML. So take it out of the XML examples, but not the msxml parser (or put it in a conditional section to allow a parser called "mssgml" as well from the same code base). The idea that one syntax (i.e. XML) is good for all documents is as bad as saying that there can be one DTD for all documents. SGML allows many variant syntaxes, and even its labarynths don't go nearly far enough to give everyone what they need. XML is a good markup syntax for the rest of us, but not the answer to all needs.
