Combining two replies in one...

Um, I see your point.

If you get really desperate you could do something Perl-esque where you 
choose your delimiters.  e.g. in Perl you do:

    s/XYZ/ABC/  or  s#XYZ#ABC#

in XML you could choose between {}, [], or some other non-name character 
such as:

<$http://www.mycompany.com/myschema$:root

If you need any more help, let me know ;-)
