I believe 
<?xml ... ?>
can be within a CDATA section ....

My goal is to be able to easily identify separations between units without having to parse everything.
So far I have tried to define the syntax without actually choosing the separator as it is largely arbitrary
*as long as it is impossible to show up in the plain text of any serialized XDM value*

Unfortunately those pesky CDATA sections make the set of charactors fairly small.
Now one could restrict CDATA and require serialized XML (or elements ...) to use entity expansion instead.
